About

Qifeng Lin is a pioneering researcher in the emerging field of insect-computer hybrid robotics, where biological insects are integrated with electronic control systems to create agile, low-power robots. Lin’s key contributions include developing a navigation algorithm with a stimulus signal regulator and habituation-breaking function, enabling sustained control of cyborg insects beyond the typical minutes-long response window. This work, published in 2023, has already garnered 19 citations. Lin further advanced the field by equipping hybrid robots with onboard monocular cameras for enhanced obstacle avoidance, a 2024 study with 10 citations, and by creating a chemical locomotion booster to sustain insect activity and improve terrain coverage (2023, 9 citations). A notable achievement is the "cyborg insect factory," an automated assembly system using vision-guided robotic arms to implant bipolar electrodes, streamlining production of these hybrid robots (2025, 5 citations). Lin’s research addresses key challenges in cyborg control—habituation, endurance, and scalability—pushing insect-computer hybrids toward practical applications in search-and-rescue, environmental monitoring, and exploration. With a focus on the Madagascar hissing cockroach, Lin’s work is at the forefront of sustainable, bio-inspired robotics.
