The zebrafish (Danio rerio) is rapidly becoming a popular model organism in
pharmacogenetics and neuropharmacology. Both larval and adult zebrafish are currently …

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 …

Closeup exploration of underwater life requires new forms of interaction, using biomimetic
creatures that are capable of agile swimming maneuvers, equipped with cameras, and …

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a serious neurodevelopmental disorder with complex
symptoms and unclear, multi-factorial pathogenesis. Animal (rodent) models of ASD-like …

Collective behavior, such as shoaling in teleost fish, is driven by the perceptual recognition
of conspecific animals. Because social interactions are mutual, it has been difficult to …

In this paper, a dynamic model for a robotic fish propelled by a tail with a flexible fin is
presented. The robotic fish is composed of two links connected by an actuated joint; the …

The zebrafish represents an excellent compromise between system complexity and practical
simplicity, features that make it useful for modeling and mechanistic analysis of complex …

In recent years, simple biomimetic robots have been increasingly used in biological studies
to investigate social behavior, for example collective movement. Nevertheless, a big …

An ability to estimate quantities, such as the number of conspecifics or the size of a predator,
has been reported in vertebrates. Fish, in particular zebrafish, may be instrumental in …

In this work, we explore the feasibility of regulating the collective behavior of zebrafish with a
free-swimming robotic fish. The visual cues elicited by the robot are inspired by salient …
