Cockroaches are gregarious insects; they tend to group together with others of their species. Generally, they prefer darker shelters and settle together in a single area. Using a cockroach pheromone coating, European scientists were able to introduce robotsinto the cockroach community, and the machines were then able to lead the cockroaches to seek shelter in lighter areas. Ultimately, these mechanical cockroaches may be utilized in pest control or serve as the blueprint for larger robots that could be used to herd livestock.
