title = "Electroactive microfluidic devices for control of insect cyborg neuromuscular systems",
abstract = "This work describes the development of an electroactive microwell based chemical/drug delivery system and its pupae stage implantation within Manduca Sexta Moths. This forms one of the critical components in our development of “Insect Cyborg Sentinels” which aim to fuse nanodevice technology with living systems. The goal of this system is to provide “on-command” chemically induced immobilization and subsequent reanimation of the otherwise autonomous cyborg. In this talk we will present the results of our adult survivability data for late and early pupae stage microdevice insertion experiments, our initial toxin injection experiments, and a comprehensive numerical/experimental study of our electroactive drug delivery system.",
