Interdisciplinary Groups and Projects

In the Edinburgh Mobile Robots Group:

Here is a list of interdisciplinary projects between Robotics and Biology and Robotics and Psychology currently carried out in the Mobile Robots Group:

  • Biologically inspired research  

    In these projects, research is carried out to replicate or model different animal and insect forms of behaviour and/or locomotion. Projects include the cricket phonotaxis behaviour, the bat's navigation system, Central Pattern Generator controlled locomotion ( e.g. inspired from the lamprey), ...

  • Psychologically inspired research  

    Here research is carried out along psychological notions such as imitation, sociality and communication.

    Elsewhere:

  • The EEBIC Group at the University of Birmingham, is concerned with Evolutionary and Emergent Behaviour Intelligence and Computation.

  • The Laboratory for Cognitive Neuroscience and Intelligent Systems , (U. of Edinburgh)

  • Emotion Site at the Brandeis University.

  • Synthetic Sensory Systems page at the University of Sterling.
