To establish a sensor network among the insect biobots they need to be kept at a certain distance with respect to each other. Also, the tiny solar panels they carry needs to be under a light source for an hour to be charged. We were able to achieve an invisible fence to have roachbot to make a u-turn when it gets out a boundary and stay inside.
