Burst Stimulation for Enhanced Locomotion Control of Terrestrial Cyborg Insects

H. Duoc Nguyen, Hirotaka Sato, T. Thang Vo-Doan

ICRA 2023poster

Terrestrial cyborg insects are biohybrid systems integrating living insects as mobile platforms. The insects' locomotion is controlled by the electrical stimulation of their sensory, muscular, or neural systems, in which continuous pulse trains are usually chosen as the stimulation waveform. Althoug…

Insect-machine hybrid robot: Insect walking control by sequential electrical stimulation of leg muscles

Feng Cao, Chao Zhang, Hao Yu Choo, Hirotaka Sato

ICRA 2015poster

This paper reports motion control of living insect legs by electrically stimulating multiple leg muscles under pre-programmed sequential schedule. A living beetle (Coleopteran, Mecynorrhina torquata) was employed as the insect platform. Firstly, we investigated the sequence of leg motions (walking g…
