Biomimetic robots and biology
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 24 (6):1077-1077 (2001)
Abstract
Using robots that operate in the real world as opposed to computer simulations of animal behavior is a form of modeling that may provide some biological insights. However, since engineering principles and materials differ significantly from those used in biology, one should be extremely cautious in interpreting robot biomimicry as providing an explanation of biological mechanisms.My notes
