Cyborg Roaches
You might not think of roaches as   the hero   type.
But researchers   at North Carolina State University are   hoping   they will be.
They call them bio-bots  . Scientists have   strapped tiny backpacks onto   cockroaches that manipulate their neural systems
so they can steer   them into small, dark spaces   or guide   them through   a maze  .
The backpacks contain   tracking gear and tiny microphones that pick up sounds of   trapped   victims` cries for help, alerting   rescuers to their locations  .
Theoretically, rescuers   could control the roaches by using apps on their smart phones.
What`s next? Eventually  , the bio-bots could be mounted with tiny cameras  ,
or infrared sensors   that can detect   heat  , another way to find people trapped   under debris.
If this technology proves   successful, first responders   may someday arrive on the scene 
with a box of cockroaches wearing   backpacks.
Smart   bio-bots that could save lives  .
