我们描述的技术和工具正在创建一系列的生物机器人研究挪威鼠幼崽。这些研究旨在为动物行为和自主机器人提供信息。对于生物学来说,关键的思想是,通过实例化实际的感觉运动规则来模拟动物行为,这种行为如何实现的具体细节代表了一种新的神经行为/神经行为学理论,即生物系统本身如何实现其行为。对于机器人来说,研究哺乳动物幼崽可以研究从简单到复杂的感觉运动规则的发展。我们的研究是独一无二的,因为动物、模拟和机器人的研究是并行发生的,并且相互通知。我们最初的目标是开发科学的方法来解决问题,以及可以实例化这些方法的机器人技术。为了实现这一目标,我们描述了我们的动态模拟模型,我们的机器人老鼠幼崽,我们的机器人跟踪算法和我们的数据分析技术。
We describe technology and tools being created for a series of biorobotics studies of Norway rat pups. These studies aim to inform both animal behavior and autonomous robotics. For biology, the crucial idea is that by simulating animal behavior by instantiating actual sensorimotor rules, the specifics for how this behavior was achieved represents a new neurobehavioral/neuroethological theory on how the biological system itself achieves its behavior. For robotics, studying infant mammals enables the study of development of sensorimotor rules from the simple to the complex. Our studies are unique in that animal, simulation, and robot studies occur in parallel and inform each other. Our initial goal is to develop scientific methods to approach the problem and robotics technology that can instantiate the methods. Towards that goal, we describe our dynamic simulation models, our robotic rat pups, our robot tracking algorithms, and our data analysis techniques.
