Stimulus control to sensory organs that manipulate the behavior of insect cyborgs

Abstract

For the practical application of insect cyborg, which is a fusion of life and machine, we conducted research aimed at establishing the connection method between living body and machine and the law of biological control. In this study, we developed a jig to increase the connection yield and conducted a sensory organ stimulus response experiment to estimate a model of an insect cyborg. In the connection method using the manufactured jig, the connection yield was as high as 87.5%. Regarding the stimulus response of the sensory organs, it was confirmed that the responsiveness decreased as the frequency increased.
