This paper presents an algorithm that simulates the calls of the Hyalessa maculaticollis cicada for musical use. Written in SuperCollider, its input parameters enable real-time control of the insect call phase, loudness, and perceived…

While engineers put lots of effort, resources, and time in building insect scale micro aerial vehicles (MAVs) that fly like insects, insects themselves are the real masters of flight. What if we would use living insect as platform for MAV…

The goal of this project is to classify four different insect sounds: cicada, beetle, termite, and cricket. One application of this project is for pest control to monitor and protect our ecosystem. Our project leverages data augmentation,…

This project addresses the challenge of classifying insect species: Cicada, Beetle, Termite, and Cricket using sound recordings. Accurate species identification is crucial for ecological monitoring and pest management. We employ machine…

The advancement of insect-computer hybrid robots holds significant promise for navigating complex terrains and enhancing robotics applications. This study introduced an automatic assembly method for insect-computer hybrid robots, which was…

Cicadas (Homoptera:Cicadidae) are insects able to produce loudly songs and it is known that the mechanism to produce sound of tymballing cicadas works as a Helmholtz resonator. In this work we offer evidence on the participation of the…

The use of auditory masking has long been of interest in psychoacoustics and for engineering purposes, in order to cover sounds that are disruptive to humans or to species whose habitats overlap with ours. In most cases, we seek to minimize…

Whispered speech as an acceptable form of human-computer interaction is gaining traction. Systems that address multiple modes of speech require a robust front-end speech classifier. Performance of whispered vs normal speech classification…

By leveraging their high mobility and small size, insects have been combined with microcontrollers to build up cyborg insects for various practical applications. Unfortunately, all current cyborg insects rely on implanted electrodes to…

The centimeter-scale cyborg insects have a potential advantage for application in narrow environments where humans cannot operate. To realize such tasks, researchers have developed a small printed-circuit-board (PCB) which an insect can…

Objective: In cochlear implant users with residual acoustic hearing, compound action potentials (CAPs) can be evoked by acoustic (aCAP) or electric (eCAP) stimulation and recorded through the electrodes of the implant. We propose a novel…

Mosquito acoustic communication is studied for its singular and poorly-known in-flight hearing mechanism, for its efficiency in mechanical-to-acoustical power transduction, as well as for being the deadliest disease vector. A combined…

There is still a long way to go before artificial mini robots are really used for search and rescue missions in disaster-hit areas due to hindrance in power consumption, computation load of the locomotion, and obstacle-avoidance system.…

This paper introduces a new prototype system for controlling a PC by head movements and also with voice commands. Our system is a multimodal interface concerned with controlling the computer. The selected modes of interaction are speech and…

While bio-inspired and biomimetic systems draw inspiration from living materials, biohybrid systems incorporate them with synthetic devices, allowing the exploitation of both organic and artificial advantages inside a single entity. In the…

Cyborg in the brain-machine interface field has attracted more attention in recent years. To control a creature via a machine called cyborg method, three stages are considerable: stimulation of neurons, neural response, and the behavioral…

Cochlear implants (CIs) are devices that restore the sense of hearing in people with severe sensorineural hearing loss. An electrode array inserted in the cochlea bypasses the natural transducer mechanism that transforms mechanical sound…

Stick insect stepping patterns have been studied for insights about locomotor rhythm generation and control, because the underlying neural system is relatively accessible experimentally and produces a variety of rhythmic outputs. Harnessing…

Insect population numbers and biodiversity have been rapidly declining with time, and monitoring these trends has become increasingly important for conservation measures to be effectively implemented. But monitoring methods are often…
