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

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 ...

Scientists from Japan and Singapore have created an advanced algorithm that helps swarms of cyborg insects move and coordinate more effectively. The concept of controlling insect swarms isn’t new.

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 ...

(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 ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

In a lab in Singapore, robots are hard at work — not on cars or gadgets, but on cockroaches. Grab a chair, you might want to sit down for this one. This work is part of a breakthrough system designed ...

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.
