Fake Insects For Pest Control - Robo-Roaches
Robo-Roaches

Imagine if RoboRoaches could lead the nasty critters from their nests into a death chamber. What a great service to humanity. These little box-like robots have shown they have the capability to do just that. Roaches will follow these bots to dark areas. They accomplish this by scent and actions that appear like roaches.

 For the final round of tests, the team released groups of 12 cockroaches and four robots into an arena with two shades, one darker than the other. But this time the team programmed the machines to pause beneath the brighter of the two shelters. Under the influence of the robots, the cockroaches gathered under the brighter shelter more than twice as often as they did when the robots followed regular cockroach rules.
