SWARM Biotactics, a company based in Germany, is creating technology through which cockroaches could aid in surveillance. The company is engineering a backpack featuring cameras, communication systems and sensors designed to sense heat and other conditions to be fitted onto cockroaches. This tiny device will be driven by artificial intelligence and will enable humans to control the movement of the insects. This technology could help with the collection of vital data in disaster-affected regions and during military operations.
