Scientists develop technology to control cyborg insect swarms

Scientists have developed an advanced swarm navigation algorithm for cyborg insects that prevents them from becoming stuck while navigating challenging terrain. The new algorithm represents a significant advance in swarm robotics. It could pave the way for applications in disaster relief, search-and-rescue missions, and infrastructure inspection. Cyborg insects are real insects equipped with tiny electronic devices on their backs — consisting of various sensors like optical and infrared cameras, a battery, and an antenna for communication — that allow their movements to be remotely controlled for specific tasks.
