Giant Madagascan Hissing Cockroach Pilots Robot

Jul 11, 2010 04:00 PM

This project has been posted on Vimeo for the past two years, and somehow has just entered my radar now. Get this: A robot is manned by a Madagascan hissing cockroach. Each movement the roach makes (perched atop a trackball type ping-pong ball) controls the movement of the robot.

See it in action:

Dually amazing and creepy. Read about the project in great detail here.
