Using robots to understand social behaviour.
A major challenge in studying social behaviour stems from the need to disentangle the behaviour of each individual from the resulting collective. One way to overcome this problem is to construct a model of the behaviour of an individual, and observe whether combining many such individuals leads to the predicted outcome. This can be achieved by using robots. In this review we discuss the strengt...
متن کاملUsing animal models to understand cancer pain in humans.
Cancer pain is not a single entity but a complex pain state involving different pain syndromes, with inflammatory, neuropathic, compressive, and ischaemic mechanisms. Current therapeutic regimens are based largely on opioids, although opioid treatment can lead to many side effects. Studies using animal models of cancer pain are aimed at understanding cancer pain and developing novel therapies. ...
متن کاملUsing robots to emulate and investigate agile animal locomotion
The graceful and agile movements of animals are difficult to analyze and emulate because locomotion is the result of a complex interplay of many components: the central and peripheral nervous systems, the musculoskeletal system, and the environment. The goals of biorobotics are to take inspiration from biological principles to design robots that match the agility of animals, and to use robots a...
متن کاملAnimal cognition
When Descartes suggested that nonhuman animals are machines, he made formal a view widely taken for granted by most thinkers in the Western tradition. In the process, he conveniently supplied a rationale for the curious assumption that only humans have souls. (Swimming against the tide, Saint Jerome argued in the early 400s that certain animals might have small souls.) Darwin's theory of evolut...
متن کاملAnimal cognition and animal behaviour
Cognitive processes such as perception, learning, memory and decision making play an important role in mate choice, foraging and many other behaviours. In this review, I summarize a few key ideas about animal cognition developed in a recent book (Shettleworth 1998, Cognition, Evolution and Behaviour) and briefly review some areas in which interdisciplinary research on animal cognition is curren...
