Germany is set to introduce a groundbreaking technology for battlefield surveillance and intelligence gathering. The country has recently begun work on a special type of ‘cyber cockroach’, which combines the bodies of living insects with artificial technology.
These sophisticated bio-robot cockroaches are equipped with miniature cameras and sensors on their backs. Through this, they will be able to send real-time images of enemy positions and combat situations directly to the army. This technology is expected to give a new dimension to military intelligence activities.

The technology is being developed by a specialized company in Germany called Swarm Biostatics. Stefan Wilhelm, the head of the company, said,
আমাদের বায়ো-রোবটগুলো জীবিত পোকামাকড়ের ওপর ভিত্তি করে তৈরি, যা উন্নত সেন্সর ও যোগাযোগ প্রযুক্তি দ্বারা সজ্জিত। এগুলো স্বাধীনভাবে কিংবা ঝাঁক বেঁধে কাজ করতে সক্ষম।
Translation: “Our bio-robots are based on living insects. They are equipped with advanced sensors and communication technology. These robots are capable of working individually or in a swarm.”
According to analysts,
সাইবার তেলাপোকার মতো প্রযুক্তি শুধু সেনাবাহিনীর জন্যই নয়, নিরাপত্তা বাহিনী এবং দুর্যোগ ব্যবস্থাপনাতেও গুরুত্বপূর্ণ ভূমিকা রাখবে।
Translation: Germany has increased its investment in the defense sector in the aftermath of the Ukraine-Russia war. In line with this, they believe that the development of such innovative technology will radically change the nature of warfare.
However, beyond military use, experts have expressed hope that this cyber cockroach technology will play an important role in security forces and disaster management in the future.
