"Backpack-Wearing Cyborg Cockroaches Invade Desert Target"

Scientists at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore have successfully controlled a swarm of remote-controlled cyborg cockroaches equipped with backpacks to navigate a sandy test area, potentially paving the way for their use in search-and-rescue missions or environmental readings. The researchers believe that these cyborg insects could be deployed by larger robots to locate missing people after natural disasters, and they are also exploring the possibility of turning rainbow crabs into cyborgs to assist the cockroaches.

"Space Station Robot to Conduct Remote-Controlled Surgery Simulation"

A tiny 2-pound robot named MIRA has become the first surgical robot at the International Space Station, where it will practice operating in zero gravity before conducting a remote-controlled surgical simulation with a surgeon directing its movements from 250 miles away. Developed by Virtual Incision Corporation in partnership with NASA and the University of Nebraska, MIRA aims to make robotic-assisted surgery more accessible on Earth, particularly in areas lacking access to local surgeons. The device's small size and potential for remote control make it a promising solution for rural areas and military battlefields, with the goal of removing barriers for patients and making robotic-assisted surgery available anytime, anywhere.
