Abstract
The concept of Cyborg Insects has attracted considerable attention in recent years due to their great potential in various fields such as agriculture, surveillance and rescue operations. Although not an entirely new concept, thanks to the improvements in technology and the reduction in the size of electronic components, new frontiers have opened up in the study of these systems. More recent research involves integrating electronics and sensors onto the bodies of insects (in this research, Madagascar Hissing Cockroaches) to allow remote control of their movements, trajectories and behaviors. A combination of microelectronics and neuro-engineering techniques is used to achieve this integration, including wireless communication systems, miniaturized sensors and neural interfaces.
Due to their small size and ease of programming, these cybernetic systems could represent a better alternative to regular microrobots, as the latter may take longer to program and would likely have difficulty moving in confined spaces and rough terrain
