Abstract: Cyborg insect robots have important application value in future military operations and disaster relief due to their high concealment and long endurance. However, the current neural regulation of the flight behavior of insects remained to be elucidated. The effective methods for artificial intervention to control the stable and precise flight of insects were deficient. Based on exploring the neural regulation mechanism of flight behavior under visual guidance, a micro control backpack is designed by using programmable micro control chip and radio receiving module, which takes into account the wireless communication distance and load capacity of honeybee. Furthermore, the flight control effect on the bee robot is verified by embedded micro intelligence backpack to the back of the abdomen. The development of the micro-control backpack provides a hardware basis for the flight control research of the bee robot, which also provides a theoretical basis for the optimization of the biological control backpack.
