工程师的梦想是制造一个像昆虫一样有能力在复杂条件下运动、定向行动、导航和生存的机器人。但是，除了研究昆虫以改进机器人技术之外，机器人实现在评估昆虫行为的机械解释方面发挥了有用的作用，通过将它们嵌入现实世界的机器来测试假设。来自昆虫神经科学的丰富和深入的数据为建立完整的昆虫大脑模型提供了诱人的可能性。机器人技术在保持对功能理解的关注方面发挥着作用-神经回路需要计算什么来支持成功的行为？
It is an engineer's dream to build a robot as competent as an insect at locomotion, directed action, navigation, and survival in complex conditions. But as well as studying insects to improve robotics, in parallel, robot implementations have played a useful role in evaluating mechanistic explanations of insect behavior, testing hypotheses by embedding them in real-world machines. The wealth and depth of data coming from insect neuroscience hold the tantalizing possibility of building complete insect brain models. Robotics has a role to play in maintaining a focus on functional understanding—what do the neural circuits need to compute to support successful behavior?
