Technical Opinion: From Animal Behaviour to Autonomous Robots
With the rising applications of robots in unstructured real-world environments, roboticists are increasingly concerned with the problems posed by the complexity of such environments. One solution to these problems is robot autonomy. Since nature has already solved the problem of autonomy it can be a suitable model for developing autonomous robots. This paper presents a concise review on robot autonomy from the perspective of animal behaviour. It examines some state-of-the-art techniques as well as suggesting possible research directions.

Automated Analysis of Behavioural Variability and Filial Imprinting of Chicks (G. gallus), using Autonomous Robots
Inter-individual variability has various impacts in animal social behaviour. This implies that not only collective behaviours have to be studied but also the behavioural variability of each member composing the groups. T…
Evolutionary optimisation of neural network models for fish collective behaviours in mixed groups of robots and zebrafish
Animal and robot social interactions are interesting both for ethological studies and robotics. On the one hand, the robots can be tools and models to analyse animal collective behaviours, on the other hand, the robots a…
Evolutionary AlgorithmsHow to Blend a Robot within a Group of Zebrafish: Achieving Social Acceptance through Real-time Calibration of a Multi-level Behavioural Model
We have previously shown how to socially integrate a fish robot into a group of zebrafish thanks to biomimetic behavioural models. The models have to be calibrated on experimental data to present correct behavioural feat…
