Fig. 1: Disaster situation scene and overview of the bio-inspired artificial wing attachment on G. Portentosa showcasing wing expansion and contraction and freedom of movement.

(Top left) Cyborg insect maneuvering in a demolition area simulating a disaster situation. The insect carries a backpack capable of live-streaming video. During the experiment we found out that the insect tends to fall when approaching edges due to the elevated center of mass. (Top right) Overview of the bio-inspired artificial wing electronic backpack attached to G. Portentosa. In its compact mode (left), the wing enables easy maneuvering in confined spaces. When expanded (right), the artificial limb assists the cyborg insect in performing self-righting motions. (Bottom left) To ensure that the insect’s natural motion is not constrained, a one-point backpack attachment technique is employed. The contact point is positioned on the top of the last head dorsal exoskeleton section. (Bottom right) The backpack-wearing insect demonstrates climbing motion, overcoming our 3D-printed obstacle and angle tool. The demonstration of freedom of movement is completed as the backpack-wearing insect also showcases descending motion.
