Do you hate cockroaches? I certainly do, and somehow wish there is a device that lures all these pests out in a individual congregation where I can get rid of them once and for all. Jose Halloy and a bunch of colleagues at the Free University of Brussels could have an reply to my prayer, having developed tiny robots that act like Pied Pipers and can trick roaches into following them. These robots were sprayed with a little bit of

roach scent and programmed to choose crowds by darkness, and the roaches automatically followed the robot wherever it went, making them easy pickings. It would be great to see that technology being released on a commercial basis, and we no longer have to grapple with pest sprays of sorts as well as roach traps that are highly ineffective.
