Nuclear Security and Politics at the University of Texas (Texas A & M
University’s Nuclear Security Science and Policy Institute) presented the

Without looking at sustainable antipathy among many people to these insects, the
choice for such studies is not accidental. Cockroaches are very tenacious and is
on all continents except Antarctica. For many weeks they can go without food and
quickly run without stopping more than an hour. But the main thing that has
become one of the main reasons for the attention of developers robots to
cockroaches, they are not nearly sensitive to radiation. Using the robotic
cockroaches, American scientists hope to examine places where human life may be
at risk of severe contamination.

Note that in general this is not the first attempt to combine robots and
cockroaches. We have previously written about the cockroach, which manages the
three-wheeled robot. But then it came to the inventor-alone. Garnet Hertz
(Garnet Hertz) built it, but rather for entertainment. At this time the
cockroaches with robots on the back should serve for the benefit of science …
