Abstract
An insect–computer hybrid robot, often referred to as a biological machine or an insect cyborg, is the fusion of a living insect platform and artificial microdevices, including stimulators, sensors, and computers. When compared with the artificial robots, a hybrid robot can be operated as an autonomous mobile machine with low energy consumption and hardware costs. A hybrid machine can verify various biological hypotheses, such as function determination, by stimulating a muscle or any other structure.
Highlights
Insects are the largest class among all animals due to their large diversity
Several artificial-legged robots have been demonstrated with flexible steps, which were inspired by the walking gaits of insects[3,4,5]
An insect–computer hybrid robot could solve the limitations of the power source because its motion is generated by the insect rather than by the artificial actuators
