It Rocks Everything.

This robot is controlled by a cockroach. It has special sensors and when the insect moves left or right the robot is moving. The experiment is trying to create a bound between the cockroach and the robot.

By Garnet Hertz (2005) “Cockroach Controlled Mobile Robot” is an experimental mechanism that uses a living Madagascan hissing cockroach atop a modified trackball to control a three-wheeled robot. If the cockroach moves left, the robot moves left. Infrared sensors also provide navigation feedback to the cockroach, striving to create a pseudo-intelligent system with the cockroach as the CPU.
