have created a new type of insect cyborg that can navigate autonomously — without wires, surgery, or stress-inducing electrical shocks. The system uses a small ultraviolet (UV) light helmet to steer cockroaches by taking advantage of their natural tendency to avoid bright light, especially in the UV range. This method not only preserves the insect’s sensory organs but also maintains consistent control over time.
