Roach Motel May Have A Robotic Tour Guide

from the this-way-please... dept

We've had stories before concerning attempts to create robotic roaches, but it appears some researchers are really making progress and have created a robotic roach that has successfully infiltrated a community of roaches. Apparently, it was so well accepted, that it also helped to lead the roaches out into a more well-lit area, suggesting that it could eventually be used to help get rid of roaches from where they are not wanted.

    You mean pets will be getting extra servings of hors d'oeuvres that move? Or will they be going to the ER with metal in their stomach?
