HANOI (VnExpress/Vietnam News): A team of Australian researchers led by Dr. Vo Doan Tat Thang has engineered a bio-hybrid robotic system that turns living cockroaches into search-and-rescue cyborgs.
"The idea grew out of a straightforward question: once a cyborg insect locates someone trapped in rubble, what else can it actually do to help them?" Thang, the Vietnamese director of the Biorobotics Laboratory, 41, tells VnExpress about the project's origins.

河内（VnExpress/越南新闻）：由 Vo Doan Tat Thang 博士领导的澳大利亚研究团队设计了一种生物混合机器人系统，可以将活蟑螂变成搜救机器人。
“这个想法源于一个简单的问题：一旦机械昆虫发现有人被困在废墟中，它还能做些什么来帮助他们？”41岁的越南生物机器人实验室主任唐向VnExpress讲述了该项目的起源。
