| Abstract | We, for the first time, demonstrated a reliable hybrid tissue-electronics interface in insects, by using silicon probes and inserting them at an early pupae stage so that the tissue grows around the probes for a highly natural implant in the insect. This work paves the way for future engineering approaches to utilize the bioelectronic interfaces and to create insect cyborgs. A successful emergence yield rate of 90% was obtained with the implanted systems. Preliminary flight control results indicate left and right wing control of Manduca sexta and full-flight control is under investigation. |
