Artificial systems as models in biological cybernetics
Behavioral and Brain Sciences 24 (6):1071-1072 (2001)
| Abstract | From the perspective of biological cybernetics, “real world” robots have no fundamental advantage over computer simulations when used as models for biological behavior. They can even weaken biological relevance. From an engineering point of view, however, robots can benefit from solutions found in biological systems. We emphasize the importance of this distinction and give examples for artificial systems based on insect biology. | |||||||||
