Living organisms are far superior to state-of-the-art robots as they have evolved a wide
number of capabilities that far encompass our most advanced technologies. The merging of …

The continuing miniaturization of digital circuits and the development of low power radio
systems coupled with continuing studies into the neurophysiology and dynamics of insect …

Living media interfaces (LMIs) have emerged as a new way to interact with digital systems
by incorporating actual living organisms in user interfaces. There is increasing interest in …

A 2.5 mW wireless flight control system for cyborg moths is presented, consisting of a 3-to-5
GHz non-coherent pulsed ultra-wideband receiver system-on-chip with an integrated 4 …

Animal robots have remarkable advantages over traditional mechatronic ones in terms of
energy supply, self-orientation, and natural concealment and can provide remarkable …

Biobot-based insects have been investigated so far for various applications such as search
and rescue operations, environmental monitoring, and discovering the environment. These …

Testing hypotheses of neuromuscular function during locomotion ideally requires the ability
to record cellular responses and to stimulate the cells being investigated to observe …

This paper reports the design, fabrication and testing of an energy scavenger that generates
power from the wing motion of a Green June Beetle (Cotinis nitida) during its tethered flight …

Deep reinforcement learning (RL) has been successful in a variety of domains but has not
yet been directly used to learn biological tasks by interacting with a living nervous system …

We present the first report of radio control of a cyborg beetle in free-flight. The microsystem
(Figs. 1, 2) consisted of a radio-frequency receiver assembly, a micro battery and a live giant …
