Overview of the cyborg animal system.

Caption

This study provides a comprehensive overview of cyborg animals within the framework of animal taxonomy, summarizing the current state of research from a zoological perspective. Subsequently, the effect of different control techniques on the locomotion performance of cyborg animals was examined, with a special emphasis on 2 prominent research areas: brain–computer interfaces and muscle-receptor electrical stimulation. In addition, the role of advances in electronic backpack design and navigation control algorithms in enabling closed-loop control and applications, including swarm robotics, environmental exploration, and human–machine interaction, is also introduced, offering valuable insights for developing cyborg animals.
