The development of robots as tools for biological research, sometimes termed'biorobotics',
has grown rapidly in recent years, fuelled by the proliferation of miniaturized computation …

The study of biomimetic robots and that of animal behaviors are mutually-reinforcing and
inseparable. Animals, through long-term evolutionary processes, have developed innate …

This pioneering text explores the emerging discipline of ethorobotics which brings together
the fields of animal behaviour and robotics. It encourages closer collaboration between …

The ménage à trois between animals, scientists, and robots offers an interesting intersection
of Umwelts, namely, meaningful environments that are different but partially overlap. While …

This chapter provides an overview of the most critical technological aspects involved in
constructing autonomous, mobile, and interactive ethorobots. Adopting the ethorobotic …

Biorobotics research typically focuses on simulating specific aspects of animal
biomechanics, sensory systems, and computational abilities. We have developed a novel …

Modelling and computer simulations combined with empirical research are the traditional
tools for the study of animal behavior. This exciting new book sets out to show how artificial …

An overview of neurotechnology, the engineering of robots based on animals and animal
behavior. The goal of neurotechnology is to confer the performance advantages of animal …

For centuries, designers and engineers have turned to biological systems to seek inspiration
for constructing functional, flexible, and robust robots (Bar-Cohen, 2005), which has matured …

Growing interest in robotic treatment of patients with neurological injury motivates the
development of therapeutic robots for basic research into recovery. Though humans are the …
