Cyborg cockroaches guided by ultraviolet light and motion feedback navigate obstacles autonomously, showing how noninvasive control can coordinate biological movement with electronic sensing.

By shining light into either eye, the researchers could steer the cockroach left or right. The team's paper, which appeared in the journal Advanced Intelligent Systems earlier this month, noted that ...

A new cockroach species, Neoloboptera peninsularis, was identified by ZSI, combining morphology and DNA sequencing.
