How should biological behaviour be modelled? A relatively new approach is to investigate problems in neuroethology by building physical robot models of biological sensorimotor systems. The explication and justification of this approach are here placed within a framework for describing and comparing models in the behavioural and biological sciences. First, simulation models – the representation of a hypothesis about a target system – are distinguished from several other relationships also termed…

Using robots to model biological behaviour
- Biology
- 2008
This work states that robots can be used to instantiate and test hypotheses about biological systems and clarifies the potential advantages of this methodology for understanding how behaviour emerges from interactions between the animal, its task and the environment.
Biological and artificial cognition: what can we learn about mechanisms by modelling physical cognition problems using artificial intelligence planning techniques?
- Biology, Computer SciencePhilosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences
- 2012
A process in which a physical cognition task domain can be decomposed into its component parts, and models constructed to represent both the causal events of the domain and the information available to the agent is described.
Biorobotics: A Methodological Primer
- Biology
- 2014
It will be argued that biorobotic experiments can give rise to different “theoretical outcomes”, including evaluation of the plausibility of an hypothesis, formulation of new scientific questions, formulations of new hypotheses, support for broad theses about intelligence and cognition, andSupport for broad regulative principles in the study of Intelligence and cognition.
A Biorobotics Approach to the Study of Insect Visual Homing Strategies
- Biology
- 2002
This work uses the biorobotics methodology to study models of insect visual navigation and to develop parsimonious methods of robot navigation, and implemented in analog hardware which shares basic computational principles with biological neurons, thus ensuring the neurobiological plausibility of the model.
Animals versus Animats: or Why Not the Real Iguana?
- Biology
- 2006
It is argued that most animat research, to the extent that it is relevant to biology, should be considered as model building, and it is suggested that the authors will learn more by choosing real, and not madeup, targets for their models.
The methods of biorobotics
- Biology
- 2021
It is suggested that interactive branches of biorobotics adopt a methodology which radically departs from the “understanding by building” approach as traditionally conceived, and that bIORobotic studies may differ from one another in the system subjected to analysis and experimentation.
Animals Versus Animats: Or Why Not Model the Real Iguana?
- BiologyAdapt. Behav.
- 2009
It is argued that animat research, to the extent that it is relevant to biology, should also be considered as model building, and that Animat simulations do, implicitly, represent hypotheses about, and should be evaluated by comparison to, animals.
Biorobotic Experiments for the Discovery of Biological Mechanisms*
- BiologyPhilosophy of Science
- 2007
Robots are being extensively used for the purpose of discovering and testing empirical hypotheses about biological sensorimotor mechanisms. We examine here methodological problems that have to be…
Validating biorobotic models.
- Psychology, BiologyJournal of neural engineering
- 2006
Some issues in neuroscience can be addressed by building robot models of biological sensorimotor systems, but the way in which the hypothesis is represented and implemented in simulation, how the simulation output is interpreted, and how it is compared to the behaviour of the biological system are illustrated.

A biologically-motivated approach to learning in situated robots based on the computational neuroscience paradigm is described, and emergent light-seeking and collision-avoidance behaviors are observed in an adaptive mobile robot embodying these learning principles, as a result of interaction with its environment.
