IS THIS REAL???🤯
A German startup raised 13 million euros to put backpacks on COCKROACHES and sell them to NATO
SWARM Biotactics attaches electrodes to the antennae of Madagascar hissing cockroaches so soldiers can steer them with a gaming controller
A tiny pulse on the left antenna makes the roach think it hit a wall so it turns right
The 15 gram backpack can carry a camera or a microphone or a Doppler radar that picks up people through walls
The roach powers its own legs with food so the battery only has to run the sensors
The company is building software that sends 10 or 100 of them toward a building while the operator just picks the target
SWARM was founded in 2024 and says NATO customers including the Bundeswehr are already paying
There's no assembly line because the production plan is cockroaches breeding
EU animal testing law only covers vertebrates and cephalopods so none of those rules apply to a roach
The CEO says the roaches need to have a good life so they perform well on their missions
A can of bug spray would still kill every one of them
A NATO army is paying for spies that breed in a box and can be steered like a video game character
I think this actually works and that's the part that bothers me
