Scientists have developed an advanced swarm navigation algorithm for cyborg insects that prevents them from becoming stuck ...

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

Cyborg cockroaches sound like something ripped straight from a video game. But scientists have managed to wire a chip to the nervous systems of a Madagascar cockroach allowing them to tell it where to ...

Envisioning armies of electronically controllable insects is probably nightmare fuel for most people. But scientists think they could help rescue workers scour challenging and hazardous terrain. An ...

In a defense lab in Germany, a small startup is wiring live cockroaches with AI-guided backpacks and turning them into steerable scouts that can slip through cracks no drone or soldier could reach.

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 ...

(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 ...

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

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.
