  1. Automation ApplicationCyborgs Jonathan Scott ME 486: Automation 9 Dec 2009

  2. Current State • Prosthetic Limbs with 14 degrees of freedom • Prosthetic Eyes capable of 256 bit vision • Prosthetic Ears bypasses ear drum and feeds sound directly to the brain.

  3. Current State in Automation • Cyborg Insects (a) Giant Flower Beetle (b) Laptop with RF transmitter controller USB port (TI SmartRF 04eb). (c) RF Reciever (TI CC2431, 2.4 GHz) (d) Antenna (e) Optical lobe Stimulating terminals (f) Muscular stimulation terminals (g) Counter Electrode

  5. Cyborg Insect • Elevation controlled by rapid frequency changes • Turning controlled muscular stimulation of the left or right side • Take off and landing controlled single pulse to the optic lobes. • 2KB memory allowed for the storage of up to 1000 commands. • Battery sizes limited flight time from 30 minutes to 31 hours. • Uses frequencies from 0 Hz to 100 Hz and voltage ranges from 100V to 4 V

  6. Where Used • Developed by students at University of California – Berkley, Arizona State University and University of Michigan – Ann Harbor • Funded by DARPA • Currently not in production

  7. Supporting Technology/Limitations • Controlled using existing RF equipment and microcontrollers. • Subject to electronic noise • Only large beetles can be used • No existing standards • Insect exhaustion limits more than battery life

  8. Primary Vendors • God – created beetles • Texas Instruments – RF Transmitters and microcontrollers • Micro Avionics - batteries

  9. Applications • Spy Bugs • Search and Rescue • Chemical Agent detection

  10. Costs • Beetle – Free • RF Transmitter - $1499 • RF Receiver - $1999 • Micro battery - $5 - $20

  11. Conculsion Certain Species of beetles can be controlled and steered autonomously thru RF transmitters. Beetles do not require a constant signal to maintain flight. Electronics provide 31 hours of control and are limited by insect exhaustion.
