Cyborg cockroaches can now search underwater during rescue missions

Cyborg cockroaches can now search underwater during rescue missions

Cyborg cockroaches manoeuvre through tiny spaces under rubble during search-and-rescue missions. Now, they can search flooded spaces. Researchers have developed a flexible “diving suit” that enables the insects to survive and move underwater, as well as in low-oxygen environments, for up to 3 hours.  Equipped with infrared cameras, sensors and electrodes they can help to locate survivors in disaster-hit areas.  In 2025, 10 roaches were sent to assist with efforts in Myanmar following a 7.7 magnitude earthquake that left more than 3000 dead. However, their use has been limited. This story has been sourced from a third party syndicated feed, agencies.

Shortage of ‘monster wolves’ to prevent bear attacks

Shortage of ‘monster wolves’ to prevent bear attacks

Japan is facing a surge in human-bear encounters, leading to a shortage of its ‘Monster Wolf’ — a solar-powered robot built to look like a wild predator and scare away pests. It uses motion sensors, flashing lights, and loud noises to frighten animals. When its infrared sensors detect movement, the robot’s head jerks from side to side, while a rapid blue LED flashes on its tail.  It also includes a speaker with over 50 randomised audio clips to prevent animals from becoming desensitised to the threat. Since 2025, bear encounters have reportedly surged to over 50,000 sightings nationwide, with 13 confirmed fatalities and over 200 injuries so far.
