not sure where I got it from. but I am sure it was about controlling the movements of an actual cockroach - just like the lab rat.
I may poke around to see what I can find. Good article. While we are in fantasy / reality - I am waiting for the day when we get organic storage / cpu devices. How much more efficient can you get?

But for a group of American scientists, roaches are a source of robotic inspiration. University of California-Berkeley biologist Bob Full is fascinated by the way cockroaches move. "They're very effective at maneuvering. They can seem to go anywhere and nothing seems to stop them." -- larry -- Larry C.
