Roach Motel May Have A Robotic Tour Guide

We've had stories before concerning attempts to create robotic roaches, but it appears some researchers are really making progress and have created a robotic roach that has successfully infiltrated a community of roaches. Apparently, it was so well accepted, that it also helped to lead the roaches out into a more well-lit area, suggesting that it could eventually be used to help get rid of roaches from where they are not wanted.
