520 1 |a "Modelling and computer simulations combined with empirical research are the traditional tools for the study of animal behaviour. This exciting new book sets out to show how artificial ethology, or experimentation with animal-like robots, can add a new dimension to our understanding of behavioural questions. Introductory chapters to modelling and robotics are followed by thematic chapters scrutinizing major areas of research in animal behaviour. Each thematic exploration is illustrated with case studies written by leading researchers in the field. From robotic lobsters to robotic 'monkeys', each case study brings the text to life, and gives a detailed description of a problem, approach, and robot application. 
520 8 |a The book concludes with a discussion of general points arising from the use of robots in biological research." "Artificial Ethology offers a comprehensive introduction to the application of robotics in animal behaviour and physiology. It will be of interest and use to all behavioural scientists, particularly zoologists, as well as computer scientists, and engineers."--Cubierta.
