Where it stands

Scientists have unveiled a 3D-printed diving suit designed for cyborg cockroaches. This equipment enables the insects to breathe and function underwater, extending their operational capabilities.

Coverage from Scientific American, Popular Science, and Gizmodo emphasizes that this is the first such suit to successfully work. Nanyang Technological University (NTU Singapore) and Yahoo report that the technology allows for the remote control of cockroach swarms in aquatic environments.

Future developments involve the utilization of these cyborg insects for extended underwater operations, though specific application sites are not detailed in current coverage.
