Keisuke Morishima, who led the hybrid biology-meets-robotics study, noted that this approach to creating cyborg insects is a better way to go than traditional methods of controlling their behavior.

Tiny onboard electronics guide insect movement without hindering agility, pointing to potential use in search-and-rescue work ...

A team at the University of Osaka has created a new artificial intelligence (AI)-powered technology to better control cyborg ...

Researchers at the University of Tsukuba in Japan have invented a method to manipulate the musical scales of cicadas' chirps by using electrical muscle stimulation (EMS). A hybrid ...

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

Have you ever thought you’d be seeing a cyborg cockroach that runs on solar power and carries a backpack that looks like an electric circuit? A team of researchers at Japan’s RIKEN research institute ...

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) 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 fusion of a living beetle and a tiny control backpack, also known as cyborg beetle, enables insect free-flight study. Using such a system, researchers from Nanyang Technological University, ...

Why design robots from scratch when nature has already done a lot of the hard work for us? That’s the reasoning behind cyborg insects, and now scientists have found a way to make remote-controlled ...

Researchers from North Carolina State University finally have a use for insect brain-jacking: use a swarm of cyborg cockroaches to map dangerous or uncertain areas like collapsed buildings. Could this ...

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 ...
