The insects already carry small electronic packs that let operators steer them through rubble and tight spaces. A new 3D-printed attachment now supplies oxygen so the same insects can keep moving when those spaces fill with water.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"more-249294\"\/><br \/><iframe title=\"Do you remember our search-and-rescue cyborg cockroaches?

Operators transmit wireless impulses to electrodes on the antennas or surrounding nerves. Gentle pulses move the insect left or right while it maintains its own balance and obstacle avoidance.<\/p>\n<div class=\"aawp\">\n<div class=\"aawp-product aawp-product--horizontal aawp-product--ribbon aawp-product--sale\" data-aawp-product-asin=\"B0GQMJ8QQT\" data-aawp-product-id=\"245863\" data-aawp-tracking-id=\"tec02e-20\" data-aawp-product-title=\"Bambu Lab A1 mini 3D Printer + LED Lamp Kit Set Up in 20 Mins High Speed &amp; Precision Full-Auto Calibration &amp; Active Flow Rate Compensation \u226448 dB Quiet FDM 3D Printers\">\n<p>    <span class=\"aawp-product__ribbon aawp-product__ribbon--sale\">Sale<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"aawp-product__thumb\">\n<p>            <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aawp-product__image\" src=\"https:\/\/m.media-amazon.com\/images\/I\/31AIduRx1FL._SL160_.jpg\" alt=\"Bambu Lab A1 mini 3D Printer + LED Lamp Kit, Set Up in 20 Mins, High Speed &amp; Precision, Full-Auto...\"\/><\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"aawp-product__content\">\n<p>            Bambu Lab A1 mini 3D Printer + LED Lamp Kit, Set Up in 20 Mins, High Speed &amp; Precision, Full-Auto&#8230;        <\/p>\n<div class=\"aawp-product__description\">\n<ul>\n<li>A1 mini + LED Lamp Kit for Creative Light Projects: Bring your ideas to life with the included LED Lamp Kit.

Once submerged, the holes fill and the insect runs out of air in minutes. The new component overcomes this limitation by incorporating a tiny chemical oxygen generator into a 3D-printed backpack. The primary housing is approximately 10 by 10 millimeters and sits on the insect\u2019s back. Inside, there is a sponge coated with manganese dioxide. When a small amount of liquid hydrogen peroxide enters the chamber, the catalyst degrades the liquid and produces oxygen gas. Four flexible silicone tubes deliver the gas directly to the cockroach\u2019s thoracic spiracles. A flexible waterproof casing composed of printed resin closes the area and creates a pocket of breathable air around the ventilation openings.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.techeblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/06124734\/amphibious-cyborg-cockroaches-diving-3d-printed-oxygen-suit-1.jpg\" alt=\"Amphibious Cyborg Cockroaches Diving 3D-Printed Oxygen Suit\" width=\"1280\" height=\"853\"\/><br \/>The entire structure is light and flexible enough that the insect\u2019s usual walk remains nearly intact. Early versions put additional mass on top, causing the cockroach to flip over underwater. Moving the generator and adjusting the shell shape resolved the stability issue. The equipped insects were tested in water-filled tubes and bespoke 3D-printed obstacle courses that simulated flooded pipes or collapsed building portions. Without the oxygen module, the roaches went inactive in minutes. It allowed them to remain responsive and mobile for up to three hours. On dry surfaces, they traveled at about 87 millimeters per second. As they went down the bottom and through submerged channels, their pace fell just slightly to around 78 millimeters per second.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/images.techeblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/06124742\/amphibious-cyborg-cockroaches-diving-3d-printed-oxygen-suit-2.jpg\" alt=\"Amphibious Cyborg Cockroaches Diving 3D-Printed Oxygen Suit\" width=\"1280\" height=\"1280\"\/><br \/>The project builds on years of work by the same research groups. Previously, cyborg cockroaches helped with search efforts following a severe earthquake in Myanmar, reaching locations where human teams and conventional machines couldn\u2019t. Adding reliable underwater operation allows for similar access to areas where flooding has obstructed typical pathways, such as storm sewers, half-submerged basements, or earthquake rubble drenched by burst pipes.<br \/><span>[Source]<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><!-- \u603b\u5bb9\u5668\uff1a\u6700\u5927\u5bbd908px Grid\u7d27\u51d1\u5e03\u5c40 -->\r\n<div style=\"display: grid;
