Roach biobot in a maze iBionicSLab 2014-11-04 | Roach biobot was steered by a computer automoatically to complete the maze. A Microsoft Kinect Camera was used to make computer see the biobot (even in dark). See our scientific publication under the Proceedings of IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Conference 2014 for more details.
Audio transmission over a distributed network of biobots iBionicSLab 2015-02-02 | The biobots are to form a network to transfer the detected sound signals from one agent to another all the way from victims under the rubble to the first responders. The demonstrated is the possibility of this through the on board microprocessors.
Biobotic sound localization algorithms tested on Hexbugs iBionicSLab 2015-02-02 | Sound localization algorithms were tested on Hexbugs before being applied to biobots. For demonstrations with biobots visit:youtube.com/watch?v=oJXEPcv-FMw To help surviving victims buried under the rubble after natural disasters, biobots needs to localize them. The little backpack that biobot carries can detect where the sounds is coming from and autonomously steer the biobot towards the sound source.
An invisible fence (fenceless boundary) for roach biobots iBionicSLab 2014-11-04 | To establish a sensor network among the insect biobots they need to be kept at a certain distance with respect to each other. Also, the tiny solar panels they carry needs to be under a light source for an hour to be charged. We were able to achieve an invisible fence to have roachbot to make a u-turn when it gets out a boundary and stay inside. See our scientific publication under the Proceedings of IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Conference 2014 for more details.
Acoustic Steering of Roach Biobots iBionicSLab 2014-11-04 | To help surviving victims buried under the rubble after natural disasters, biobots needs to localize them. The little backpack that biobot carries can detect where the sounds is coming from and autonomously steer the biobot towards the sound source. Note that the video is muted after 3 seconds otherwise the speaker plays the sound until biobot finds the source.
