Innovative Science: The Creation of Necrobot Spiders Explained
Written on
Chapter 1: The Fascinating World of Necrobots
In a world where arachnophobia is common, the idea of spiders being "revived" through scientific means may seem far-fetched. Yet, researchers have developed a technique to utilize the legs of deceased spiders as mechanical grippers in their experiments. These so-called necrobot spiders have been engineered in laboratories for innovative applications.
Recent studies have shown that spider legs can serve as effective grippers. By injecting air into the curled legs of dead spiders, scientists have enabled them to lift objects weighing up to 130% of their own body weight. Remarkably, these lifeless appendages can manipulate circuit boards and even toggle LED lights.
The transformation of a spider's remains into a functional tool raises intriguing questions about the implications of such discoveries. Consider this hypothetical scenario: if a dead chicken could be artificially stimulated to produce eggs, would researchers pursue this avenue? What if an individual’s remains could still perform mechanical functions? Would science venture into these uncharted territories?
Personally, I believe that the deceased, whether plant or animal, should be allowed to rest in peace. The notion of a spider or any organism's corpse being repurposed for scientific tasks, regardless of efficiency, is unsettling.

In this video, titled "Lab Manipulates Deceased Spiders' Legs with a Puff of Air to Serve as Grabbers," you'll see firsthand how researchers use air pressure to activate the legs of dead spiders, turning them into functional tools.
The second video, "Dead Spiders for Robotic Grippers," explores the potential applications and ethical considerations surrounding this innovative yet eerie technology.
