(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 ...

Insects exhibit remarkable locomotor versatility underpinned by highly efficient neural control systems. Their ability to navigate complex terrains relies on the seamless integration of sensory inputs ...

In a very brief article, AZoNano reports that nanotechnology is turning insects into flying cyborgs. Researchers from Cornell University have implanted 'microfluidic devices in insects before they ...

Princeton engineers investigated the secret to grasshoppers' efficient gliding, inspiring a new approach for robotic flight.

Adaptability explains why insects spread so widely and why they are the most abundant animal group on earth. Insects exhibit resilient and flexible locomotion, even with drastic changes in their body ...

A team of engineers, physicists and biologists is seeking to create insect cyborgs—creatures with a mixture of organic and mechanical parts that could be used for military applications. The ...

PORTLAND, Ore. — Cyborg insects with embedded microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) will run remotely controlled reconnaissance missions for the military, if its '”HI-MEMS” program succeeds.

Researchers are embracing chaos and nonlinear physics to create insectlike gaits for tiny robots -- complete with a locomotion controller to provide a brain-machine interface. Biology and physics are ...

There are plenty of projects out there attempting to replicate the locomotion of insects, but one thing that computers and logic aren’t so good at is improvising and adapting the way even the smallest ...

Sutton, G., Szczecinski, N., Quinn, R. D., & Chiel, H. D. (2021). Neural control of rhythmic limb motion is shaped by size and speed. . Moses, K., Willis, M., & Quinn ...

When you think of four-legged walking robots, chances are that you picture something like Boston Dynamics’ various dog robots. But while Spot and his large siblings may be the world’s most famous ...
