Motion control in Madagascar hissing cockroach walking through electrical stimulation of abdomen

This paper demonstrates the variety of movement states of the Madagascar hissing cockroach (Gromphadorhina Portentosa) under stimulation on twelve parts of the abdominal area – two parts at one time. Different combinations were tested out on both sides of the abdominal area along with varying voltag...
