Cockroach with Robotic Backpack

There's an article over on Guardian entitled Weird Science. There's a few paragraphs in the middle discussing research on insects. Micro-robotic backpacks were surgically implanted into cockroaches, in order to allow researchers to remote control the insects. Once this technology has proven itself reliable, the applications are numerous, including spying using miniature cameras, and recognition of treacherous terrain. I wouldn't be surprised if it was possible to control larger animals with similar technology, so it's definitely something to look into.
