In college I Worked on a remote controlled backpack to put on cockroaches to control their movement. This video shows a test of the nitinol actuated mechanism.

  • Thats lame i wanted to see a cockroach controlled by remotes

  • yeah, sorry, the backpack I built was too heavy for the cockroach to move much. It used nitinol shape memory wire as the actuator. I never got around to making it lighter.
