In a breakthrough that blends biology and robotics, researchers at the University of Osaka have created a new type of insect cyborg that can navigate autonomously—without wires, surgery, or ...

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

Instead of going to the time and trouble of designing and building tiny robots from scratch, some scientists are now turning existing insects into remote-control cyborgs. A new "assembly line" could ...

By shining light into either eye, the researchers could steer the cockroach left or right. The team's paper, which appeared in the journal Advanced Intelligent Systems earlier this month, noted that ...

A thin band of light from Cristian Lucanas's headlamp pierces the blackness of a Philippine rainforest as he digs through the underbrush before gently scooping up a cockroach with his bare hands. As ...

A German startup is engineering cyborg insects for defense purposes—but this isn’t the first time scientists have mounted cameras on creepy crawlies. Researchers control the insects by sending ...

have created a new type of insect cyborg that can navigate autonomously -- without wires, surgery, or stress-inducing electrical shocks. The system uses a small ultraviolet (UV) light helmet to steer ...
