Developments of minimized robots and cyborgs are necessary due to the limitations of human resources in some parts such as life exploration at the disaster sites, resources and terrain exploration in the wilds, and the military area reconnaissance. Especially, development of “Cyborg Insects”, which utilizes insects’ basic capacities for locomotion and their small bodies, is getting attention. However, cyborg insects with abilities to do stable flight and landing are not developed until now. There are 2 reasons for this. The first reason is that selected insects for development didn't have outstanding basic locomotion. Second, there are no enough foundational researches to understand insects’ flight mechanism. Therefore, we progressed a research for physiological characteristic to understand outstanding flight mechanism of the dragonfly by mapping wing muscles nerve networks through electro-stimulation, and EMG recording. As a result, we found locations of wing muscles nerve network, inducing each wing’s upward or downward movements. Also, the best stimulating conditions to control each wings’ movement optimally were found. This research is expected to be used as basic data for developing cyborg dragonfly with remarkable flight ability, in the future.
