Among the various applications of robotics, a contribution to which the public often do not think that is very important, however, is to use bots to help us better understand life. Project Psikharpax goes in this direction. Indeed, finding solutions that enable a robot to perceive its environment, to act there and fit properly when the environment changes, we give the keys to understanding the difficulties faced by animals in their environment, and mechanisms of perception and adaptive behavior that may have been selected during evolution.Project Psikharpax contributes to this process. They are developing a robot with artificial rat sensory equipment, operation of the “brain” and computer functionality are inspired as much as possible of the rat. The main objective is to use the robot as a platform to test biological hypotheses to contribute to the understanding of these mechanisms in mammals.
In this case you can understand why the rat was chosen as a model, discovering the rat-robot and its features, capabilities, strength of learning.
