Cyborg cockroaches guided by ultraviolet light and motion feedback navigate obstacles autonomously, showing how noninvasive control can coordinate biological movement with electronic sensing.

Instead of going to the time and trouble of designing and building tiny robots from scratch, some scientists are now turning existing insects into remote-control cyborgs. A new "assembly line" could ...

It sounds like the oddest conspiracy theory ever, but amazingly, the Pentagon is behind a plan to turn crickets, cicadas and katydids into cyborg chemical detectors to help protect soldiers from ...

Scientists have developed an advanced swarm navigation algorithm for cyborg insects that prevents them from becoming stuck while navigating challenging terrain. The new algorithm represents a ...

Cyborg cockroaches that find earthquake survivors. A "robofly" that sniffs out gas leaks. Flying lightning bugs that pollinate farms in space. These aren't just buzzy ideas, they're becoming reality.

A study on the remote-controlled cockroach titled "Integration of body-mounted ultrasoft organic solar cell on cyborg insects with intact mobility" has been published in the journal npj Flexible ...

(A) A locomotion tracking system for cyborg insects, which uses a camera to track the insect's position, transmitting the positional data to the host for recording; (B) a host that acquires and ...

Instead of using robots, researchers at Osaka University and Diponegoro University, Indonesia aim to harness the advantages of cyborg insects to aid in disaster relief and safety inspections under ...

Researchers have engineered a system for creating remote controlled cyborg cockroaches, equipped with a tiny wireless control module that is powered by a rechargeable battery attached to a solar cell.

Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) scientists have built the world's first automated cyborg insect "factory line." This new prototype robotic system automates the attachment ...

The concept of soldier ants may not be far away from a Department of Defense proposal to field an army of remote-controlled insect-cyborg scouts. The Hybrid Insect Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems (HI ...
