This kind of stuff is the ugly dystopian future that awaits us if we stay on the path we're on too long. The real-world failures of AI are compensated with biology, flipped into a "perfectability" narrative, and deployed on/at people.
SWARM makes biology programmable. We mass-deploy sensors and compute through living cyborg swarms—real insects carrying ultra-light payloads (sensors, edge AI, secure communications), coordinated by our swarm autonomy and mission control.
SWARM Biotactics. Here's a page at Vertex Ventures, a US-based VC associated with Temasek, about them: https://vvus.com/portfolio/swarm-biotactics/
SWARM Biotactics is developing a new category of robotics: living, intelligent systems based on insects – equipped with custom-designed backpacks for control, sensing, and secure communication. These modular bio-robotic swarms augment the natural mobility of real organisms with AI, advanced sensors, and swarm intelligence – enabling silent access, close-range ISR, and real-time data collection where no other system can reach.​
