Cyborg insects have used in the past for search & rescue and other tasks. They can be equipped with tiny sensors to get readings from their environments. Researchers have taken it to the next level with Paraborgs: these are a team of paramedic cyborg cockroaches with auto-injection capability. The observers have an on-board camera. According to the team behind it, success rate is about 90%.
The idea is to use a team of cyborg roaches to get these tasks done. One of them takes care of auto injection while the other acts as an observer with its camera. As the above video shows, the injector approaches the target and launches.
