Japanese Scientists Create A Powered Kecoa Robot Solar Panel, Can Carry Out A Mission To Save Humans

JAKARTA - Scientists in Japan have designed new insects, robotic cockroaches, that can be controlled remotely, equipped with solar-powered 'ransel' batteries.

The robot's cap is part of an insect and part of this machine is intended to enter a dangerous area, monitor the environment or carry out search and rescue missions without the need to recharge.

Researchers from RIEN Cluster for Pioneering Research had to install several components into small packets to allow all natural movements of cockroaches.

The module of ultra-savvy organic solar cells mounted on the body reaches a power output of 17.2 mW, which is more than 50 times larger than the power output of today's advanced energy harvesting devices in living insects, said lead researcher Kenjiro Fukuda as quoted by the Daily Mail.

The boycott is an extraordinary attack for being able to survive the nuclear war. This insect has been an inspiration to a number of technologies in recent years.

Different scientists' teams have designed remotely controlled robos that can climb walls, carry objects, and find humans during search and rescue missions.

The RIEN team wants to make a more practical version that doesn't need to return to the handler or dock station when it runs out of power. Therefore, they designed on-board solar cells that can continue to make sure cockroaches are still charging while working.

However, cockroaches have a limited surface area available to all components needed to move their legs and keep them powered.

The solution, published today in Flexible Electronics, is to design a special 'ransel' that can carry wireless foot control modules and lithium polymer batteries that can be neatly recharged.

It attaches to the top of the insect in the chest, and is printed 3D to match the curved surface of goodhadorina or Gromphadorina portentosa.

This allows these rigid electronic devices to be installed stably on insects for more than a month, while leaving room elsewhere in the body to implant solar panels.
