Wearable Ultraviolet (UV) Helmet for Steering Cyborg Insect Movement

Abstract

This study introduces a novel approach to enhance the control of cyborg insect locomotion through the utilization of a wearable UV helmet. The proposed technology leverages ultraviolet light to influence and direct the movement of cyborg insects, providing a simple yet effective means of steering. The wearable Ultraviolet (UV) helmet serves as a remote interface, allowing operators to manipulate insect behavior for various applications, such as surveillance or environmental monitoring. Preliminary experiments demonstrate promising results in steering the cyborg insects along desired paths. This research not only contributes to the field of bio-hybrid systems but also opens new avenues for practical applications in controlled insect mobility.
