Living organisms are far superior to state-of-the-art robots as they have evolved a wide
number of capabilities that far encompass our most advanced technologies. The merging of …

Flying insects are able to fly smartly in an unpredictable environment. It has been found that
flying insects have smart neurons inside their tiny brains that are sensitive to visual motion …

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

Digital and mechatronic methods, paired with artificial intelligence and machine learning,
are transformative technologies in behavioral science and biology. The central element of …

Honey bees live in colonies of thousands of individuals, that not only need to collaborate
with each other but also to interact intensively with their ecosystem. A small group of robots …

Augmenting artificial intelligence through the integration of animal-inspired robots holds
immense promise for transforming the landscape of ecological conservation. By harnessing …

Collective behavior based on self-organization has been observed in populations of animals
from insects to vertebrates. These findings have motivated engineers to investigate …

Biomimetic robots that replace living social interaction partners can help elucidate the
underlying interaction rules in animal groups. Our review focuses on the use of interactive …

The honeybee dance “language” is one of the most popular examples of information transfer
in the animal world. Today, more than 60 years after its discovery it still remains unknown …

In this paper, we propose a novel method for emulating rat-like behavioral interactions in
robots using reinforcement learning. Specifically, we develop a state decision method to …
