I thought this might be enjoyed by some of the members here especially if there are any students aspiring to work in the biomedical industry, which will certainly be a big part of the world 10-20 years from now and continue to be relevant throughout the 21st century. What a nutty experiment.

Saw the title and immediately clicked. Wasn't sure what to expect but this sure does surpass anything I would have expected. Pretty interesting watch, even though I did skip around a bit. Initially, I thought he froze the cockroach to death, and was going to mechanically animate it, something out of Frankestein. When the cockroaches legs started twitching, I felt pretty bad for it. But still, pretty interesting!
I've seen this before ages ago and did some research. Apparently you can buy kits for yourself, just supply your own roach. Here is a link to the kit: https://backyardbrai...ducts/roboroach.

Saw the title and immediatly knew what video was going to be linked in here. So for that I deserve all the likes.
But seriously. This is rather pretty neat. It reminds me of that cockroach spy listener from that film The Fith Element it was a "bug" that was a literal bug. I bet using this technique one could literally make a functioning version of that cyber listening roach from the film.
