Researchers have named this cyborg cockroach as remotely controlled hybrid robotic system.
The back pack though small is still an additional burden which can be tiresome for the live cockroaches.
Cockroaches have been used earlier for cyborg treatment, wherein their antennae were stimulated.
It was seen that a direct stimulation to the nervous system gave far better results.
Cyborg cockroaches could someday rescue disaster survivors of the nuclear power plants or collapsed mines.
However as of now researchers have converted the pest into most useful robot.
