Open AccessDriving singing behaviour in songbirds using a multi-modal, multi-agent virtual environment
Interactive biorobotics provides unique experimental potential to study the mechanisms underlying social communication but is limited by our ability to build expressive robots that exhibit the complex behaviou...

From “ear” to there: a review of biorobotic models of auditory processing in lizards
The peripheral auditory system of lizards has been extensively studied, because of its remarkable directionality. In this paper, we review the research that has been performed on this system using a biorobotic...

A computational fluid dynamics model of viscous coupling of hairs
Arrays of arthropod filiform hairs form highly sensitive mechanoreceptor systems capable of detecting minute air disturbances, and it is unclear to what extent individual hairs interact with one another within...

Modelling asymmetry in the peripheral auditory system of the lizard
The ears of lizards are highly directional. The directionality is generated by strong acoustical coupling of the eardrums. A simple lumped-parameter model of the ear followed by binaural comparisons has been s...

Entertainment capture through heart rate activity in physical interactive playgrounds
An approach for capturing and modeling individual entertainment (“fun”) preferences is applied to users of the innovative Playware playground, an interactive physical playground inspired by computer games, in ...
