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 ...

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

Flying insects use compensatory head movements to stabilize gaze. Like other optokinetic responses, these movements can reduce image displacement, motion and misalignment, and simplify the optic flow ...
