"We use a Wii controller..."
In 2016, an "insect-computer hybrid" was developed by scientists, allowing them to 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹 𝗼𝗳 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝗻𝘀𝗲𝗰𝘁𝘀 by electronically stimulating their nervous system.
Researchers from Singapore's Nanyang Technological University created the remote-controlled insects by strapping tiny computers and wireless radios to the backs of giant flower beetles.
The study, published in the Journal of the Royal Society Interface, describes how insects are "𝗻𝗮𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲'𝘀 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱𝘆-𝗺𝗮𝗱𝗲 𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗼𝘁 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝘀."
Through electrical stimulation, the researchers were able to control the walking gaits and speeds of beetles.
"To the best of our knowledge, this paper represents the first demonstration of living insect locomotion control with a user-adjustable walking gait, step length and walking speed," the paper's abstract states.
