Japanese engineers have developed "mechanical cockroaches" and can work in extreme environments

[Global Times Comprehensive Report] Japanese engineers implant electronic equipment into real cockroaches to make it a mechanical cockroach that can be remotely controlled. And because they are equipped with ultra -thin solar panels, they can achieve remote charging battery life.

According to the British "Times" reported on the 5th, a Japan Institute found the best mechanism that can combine solar batteries with cockroaches -researchers put 4 microns thick solar battery boards on the abdomen of cockroaches. The flexibility of cockroaches is not only affected, but it can be adjusted by itself even if it falls on the front. Its working principle is to control the movement of one leg of the cockroach's body through current, while the other legs are not disturbed, thereby achieving control of it. Researchers said that the energy supply device installed on the body of cockroaches is essential for controlling its scope and enhancing related functions. Its volume and weight will greatly affect cockroach activities, and solar panels solve this problem. He said that mechanical cockroaches can complete the search and rescue work that is difficult to make. Because it has a strong vitality that survived under radiation conditions, it can work in extreme environments. (Liu Ming)
