It sounds like science fiction – cockroaches controlled by artificial intelligence and equipped with advanced technology – but this is actually happening and these bio-robots are now being used.
German company Swarm Biotactics says their “bio-robotic swarms” – tiny, living robots – can scout areas and access places that are too dangerous or small for humans or traditional drones.
The company is pioneering a new type of robotics that combines artificial intelligence with insects, creating incredibly discreet and hidden technology.
Swarm announced on February 26th that their project has moved beyond the research phase and is now being put into action.
AI-controlled bugs enter the field
Just a year ago, this technology wasn’t even a possibility. Now, we’re launching swarms of programmable, cyborg insects that have been tested in the field and are already being used by NATO customers.
Okay, so what I’m seeing is totally real – we’re talking about actual living creatures, but they’re hooked up to some seriously advanced tech. Think bio-electronics that link directly to their brains, plus sensors, AI that processes info right there on the creature, and secure communication systems. The coolest part? They move as one, like a perfectly coordinated team. And they don’t build more of them in factories – they breed them, which is wild!
The video features a cockroach wearing a tiny backpack created by a tech company. They say this device lets the insect gather information and send it securely, allowing people to monitor and collect data from dangerous or inaccessible locations in real time.
Swarm, as announced on LinkedIn, has a team of over 40 engineers and scientists working in both Germany and the United States. The company also states that the German military is a client, and their technology has been successfully tested in real-world situations in Europe and the US.
We’re creating something truly unique – no other Western company is pursuing this kind of technology. It’s not simply about making a better drone; we’re pioneering a new approach to artificial intelligence that relies on biological principles to improve performance, rather than just making things more complex with traditional engineering.
We’ve seen science fiction become reality before, and it’s happening again. From self-driving cars that can think for themselves to robots designed to lead religious discussions, futuristic technology is quickly becoming part of our everyday lives.
