After a devastating earthquake,
most often buildings will crumble trapping people inside its ruins.
Search and rescue teams work effortsly in such situation, employing both
high tech solutions like heat-seeking or the simple, yet ever effective
trained dogs to save people. Twenty four hours after a disaster though,
the chances of a person trapped alive in the rubble to survive
exponentially decrease, it’s imperative thus to get them out as soon as
possible – you have to find them first. But who or what can get through
those crammed spaces and signal the presence of life? Researchers from University of Michigan believe an army of cyborg insects might spearhead rescue operations in the future.
A common theme I see in spy movies, the bad sort granted, is a sort of mechanical, robot thingy insect that buzzes around, camouflaged as an unsuspected fly which actually feed back video or audio footage. The researchers at hand didn’t replicate this idea, but instead decided to harvest the energy of insects fitted with miniature technology instead of engineering them from scrap.
