Insect cyborgs may sound like something straight out of the movies, but hybrid insect computer robots, as they are scientifically called, could pioneer a new future for robotics. It involves using ...

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

Researchers have developed a six-legged robot that can learn to walk by mimicking a stick insect’s movement patterns. The AI-powered system enables the robot to adapt its walking strategy across ...

The University of Delaware Department of Entomology and Wildlife Ecology has a new faculty member — Michael Crossley. A self-described entomology generalist, Crossley’s research fits under three ...

There is a problem you inevitably face when you continue macro photography of insects. That is the fact that you try to take a picture and get close, but they notice you and run away. It is an ...

Artificial intelligence (AI) offers a new way to track the insect pollinators essential to farming. In a new study, we installed miniature digital cameras and computers inside a greenhouse at a ...

Global warming is affecting terrestrial insects in multiple ways. In response to increasingly frequent heat extremes, they have to either reduce their activity or seek shelter in more suitable ...

Insect cyborgs may sound like science fiction, but it's a relatively new phenomenon based on using electrical stimuli to control the movement of insects. These hybrid insect computer robots, as they ...
