Mike Libby uses the carapaces of real insects to create tiny, mechanical works of art. They look like they could be part of a new insect-driven A.I. Not only does Libby’s work adorn a new anthology of ...

Singapore's Nanyang Technological University mass-produces cyborg cockroaches by implanting electronic backpacks into their carapaces. They can "assemble" one in 68 seconds-much faster than manually ...

In a lab in Singapore, robots are hard at work — not on cars or gadgets, but on cockroaches. Grab a chair, you might want to sit down for this one. This work is part of a breakthrough system designed ...

Scientists at the Energy Department’s Argonne National Laboratory have pioneered a cutting-edge neuromorphic computer chip—modeled off the brains of bees, fruit flies and other insects—that can ...

Envisioning armies of electronically controllable insects is probably nightmare fuel for most people. But scientists think they could help rescue workers scour challenging and hazardous terrain. An ...

(Nanowerk News) 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 ...

If you live in fear of a robot apocalypse, the existence of cybernetic insects probably won’t help you sleep at night. But a team of engineers behind giant beetle cyborgs have high hopes for their ...

An insect army awaits you. A team of engineers has developed a way to remotely control the movement of this beetle in incredible detail, finely tuning its gait, step length and walking speed. The team ...

Circuit diagram for the cybrid beetle. “Nature’s ready-made robot platforms.” That’s how a new paper from researchers at Singapore’s Nanyang Technological University describe insects — it’s excellent ...

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 ...
