If you want to enhance a locust to be used as a bomb-sniffing bug, there are a few technical challenges that need solving before sending it into the field. Is there some way to direct the locust -- to ...

A team of engineers from Washington University in St. Louis is looking to capitalize on the sense of smell in locusts to create new biorobotic sensing systems that could be used in homeland security ...

Scientists say robotically doped locusts are able to register the smells of different explosives. By monitoring their firing neurons and “disrupting” their olfactory systems, scientists are able to ...

Research has determined that locusts can smell explosives and determine where the smells originated -- an important step in engineering cyborg bomb-sniffing locusts. If you want to enhance a locust to ...
