Where it stands
Scientists have unveiled a 3D-printed diving suit designed for cyborg cockroaches. This technology allows the insects to breathe and function underwater, extending their operational capabilities into aquatic environments.
Coverage from Nanyang Technological University (NTU Singapore), Scientific American, and Popular Science emphasizes that these remote-controlled insects can now operate for hours submerged. Gizmodo and Yahoo highlight the ability to deploy these cyborgs as a swarm with new powers.
Future developments will focus on the extended underwater operations of these remote-controlled insect swarms.
