Effective Stimulus Parameters for Directed Locomotion in Madagascar Hissing Cockroach Biobot.

Swarms of insects instrumented with wireless electronic backpacks have previously been proposed for potential use in search and rescue operations. Before deploying such biobot swarms, an effective long-term neural-electric stimulus interface must be established, and the locomotion response to variou...
