This document discusses spyborgs, or spy cyborgs, which are animal cyborgs developed by the Defense Advanced Research Agency to be used as spy agents in the army. It specifically focuses on using beetles as cyborgs due to their size and structure. The document explains how cyborgs work through brain-machine interfaces and describes the implantation process that would attach microelectromechanical systems to a beetle's brain to allow for control and sensing abilities, enabling their use as small, inexpensive spy agents.

4. What is meant by spyborg?
spy cyborg Spyborg

5. Spy:
 Who can obtain secret information and give all the
information about the situation at the place
Cyborg:
 A cyborg is nothing but a cybernetic organism. It
consists of both artificial and natural systems. The
artificial system increases (or) changes the working of the
natural system.
 This cyborg was coined out by Manfred Clynes &
Nathan Kline.

6. Classification of cyborg
cyborg
Human Animal

7. Human cyborg:
Well developed because of
advancement in technology.
Animal cyborg:
Developed by Defence Advanced
Research Agency (DARPA)because of its
use as a spy agent in army.

8. How does cyborg works?
• If an artificial the brain system should work naturally,
then it should interact with brain.
• It needs an interaction between the brain and the
artificial system, This interaction of the Brain with a
machine directly is called as Brain Machine
Interface.

9. Explanation of Brain machine
interface (BMI)

10. Animal cyborgs as spy agents
When we use human cyborgs as spy agent they
might rise a doubt to the culprit where as
animal cyborg doesn’t.

11. Why we have choosen “Beetle” as
cyborg?
Research is done on different
types of insects , of this beetle is
choosen because of its wonderful
mechanism.
They can grow over 12 cm, but in
general their growth is up to 5 cm.
The scientific name of this insect
mostly found in European
countries.

12. Structure of Beetle’s Brain
Optic
lobe
Interconnected
with
Muscle nerves of
wings
Stimulus created in
optic lobe
Activates wings

14. How can these be Produced
 These Hybrid Insects can be created
by coupling the Natural Beetle insect
with a Micro Electro Mechanical
Systems.
 The micro electro mechanical system
consist of :
• A control system to control the
insect
• A power system to draw power
from the insect.

15. Stage of Implantation

16. • As it was discussed before, it can be used as a best spy
agent.
• Just side to the eyes of the beetle, there will be small
receptor like structures called antennae as shown in the
figure.
• If we could locate the exact place where the data regarding
the antennae is synthesized, then we can replace the real
functioning by HI-MEMS which can even sense :
1. Explosives
2. Drugs
3. Toxins etc.
Applications Of Cyborg

17. Components of Insect Brain Showing Receptors

18. Advantages
 These are very cheap when compared to the most
modern warfare systems.
 They can survive in deep cold atmospheres also.
 We can increase the lifespan of the insect.
