| Summary: | In recent years, cyborg insects, more specifically the Madagascar hissing cockroach,
have been studied to be used in search and rescue missions. These insects are mounted
with battery powered devices which electrically stimulate their movement, hence
controlling direction, speed and efficiency of locomotion. The focus of the current
study is analysing how voltage affects the speed and efficiency of the cockroach
locomotion. To do so, different electrode designs are considered in the experiment to
find the most ideal mounting method. The results recorded are analysed and the data
will show which amount of voltage is the most ideal for efficient locomotion. |
