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 ...

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 ...

(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 ...

Have you ever thought you’d be seeing a cyborg cockroach that runs on solar power and carries a backpack that looks like an electric circuit? A team of researchers at Japan’s RIKEN research institute ...

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 ...

Computer controlled or robotic insects are not new, however recent advances are more sophisticated that anything that has gone on before. Back in 2012, Digital Journal ran a feature looking at how ...

Just in case you were craving an army of beetle minions to do your bidding, a group of engineers in Singapore has invented a new kind of "biobot." Fitted out with a microcontroller and electrodes ...

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 ...
