“…It was demonstrated that rat movement can be controlled through stimulation of the MFB and the SIBF in rats [29]; however, high-efficiency training should still be pursued. Previous studies of training the MFB of rats using a square open field resulted in the rats naturally spending a long time cowering in the corners.…”

As a cutting-edge technology, animal robots based on living organisms are being extensively studied, with potential for diverse applications in the fields of neuroscience, national security, and civil rescue. However, it remains a significant challenge to reliably control the animal robots with the objective of protecting their long-term survival, and this has seriously hindered their practical implementation. To address this issue, this work explored the use of a bio-friendly neurostimulation system that includes integrated stimulation electrodes together with a remote wireless stimulation circuit to control the moving behavior of rat robots. The integrated electrodes were implanted simultaneously in four stimulation sites, including the medial forebrain bundle (MFB) and primary somatosensory cortex, barrel field (S1BF). The control system was able to provide flexibility in adjusting the following four stimulation parameters: waveform, amplitude, frequency, and duration time. The optimized parameters facilitated the successful control of the rat’s locomotion, including forward movement and left and right turns. After training for a few cycles, the rat robots could be guided along a designated route to complete the given mission in a maze. Moreover, it was found that the rat robots could survive for more than 20 days with the control system implanted. These findings will ensure the sustained and reliable operation of the rat robots, laying a robust foundation for advances in animal robot regulation technology.

“…For biohybrid organisms, an integrated sensor array has been applied to enhance individuals' olfactory and tactile perception capability (Liu et al 2012, Lucarotti et al 2013. Other researchers have studied rodents (Nickell et al 2007, Guo et al 2016, Zhang et al 2018 and substitutes for real skin (Cheneler et al 2014, Low et al 2019, Jang et al 2020. However, this research has mainly focussed on improving the method by which such enhancements can be achieved and investigating the potential electrophysiological mechanisms, rather than studying the impact of the enhanced perceptions.…”

The use of technologies to enhance human and animal perceptions has been explored in frontier research about artificial life and biohybrid systems. These attempts have revealed that augmented sensing abilities can emerge new interactions between individuals within or across species. Nevertheless, the diverse effects of different augmented capabilities are less examined and compared. In this work, we built a human-fish biohybrid system that enhanced the ornamental fish’s vision by projecting human participants onto the arena background. In contrast, human participants were equipped with a mix-reality device, which visualized fish individuals’ trails (representing situation-oriented perceptions) and emotions (representing communication-oriented perceptions). We investigated the impacts of the two enhanced perceptions on the human side and documented the perceived effects in three aspects. First, both augmented perceptions considerably increase participants’ attention toward ornamental fish, and the impact of emotion recognition is more potent than trail sense. Secondly, the frequency of human-fish interactions increases with the equipped perceptions. And the mood recognition ability on the human side can indirectly promote the recorded positive mood of fish. Thirdly, most participants mentioned they felt closer to those fish with the mood recognition ability, even if we added some mistakes in the accuracy of mood recognition. In contrast, the addition of trail sensing ability cannot bring in a similar effect on the mental bond. These findings reveal several aspects of different perceived effects between the enhancements of communication-oriented and situation-oriented perceptions.

“…At the same time of the research on birds' flight movement behavior information collection equipment, the ability of birds to carry heavy loads also restricts the design and research of related equipment.In 2013, Tingting Liu, et al from Nanjing University of Aeronautics and Astronautics conducted a study on the loading capacity of pigeons with strong load-bearing capacity, and the study showed that the loading limit of pigeons was about 25%-27% of their body weight [3][9]. But common model animals, such as hummingbirds, which weigh less, have more stringent requirements for size and weight.The sensor combination of GPS and INS is widely used in aircraft fields [8][10], but the application of this combination information on birds has not been specially studied [5] [6]. In 2017, Backman Johan et al , Lund University, used accelerometer data to obtain information on flight patterns, behavior, and energy expenditure in the study of bird migration, opening up a new dimension for recording the movement of individual birds [4].…”

Birds have excellent three-dimensional space movement ability. The research and design of small and lightweight bird flight movement behavior information collection equipment has important application value in the research of bird robots and other aspects. Based on STM32F103 series chips, this paper designs a low cost small lightweight bird flight movement information acquisition device, and uses FREERTOS multi-task real-time operating system to realize the acquisition and storage of movement behavior information on this device.
