New photos of NeuroRover
Our exclusive lab photographer Jon took some marvellous shots of NeuroRover, our small tank robot that uses honeybee brain structures to learn its environment. [Best_Wordpress_Gallery id=”1″ gal_title=”Jon_photos_feb2014″]
Robots in Animal Societies: Article in Nautil.us
The magazine Nautil.us has published an article on the general practise of using robots to investigate animal behavior. The article focuses on the great works of Jose Halloy and Thomas Schmickl but also mentions our work here at FU Berlin.… Continue Reading
Tracking Bees with New Tag Design!
We changed the design of the binary tags to a circular code. Look below!
Collaboration with Prof. Dr. von der Emde (Uni Bonn)
In a new collaboration with neuroethologists in Bonn we are employing our RoboFish system to investigate electro-communication in weakly electric fishes.

Conditioned behavior in a robot controlled by a spiking neural network
In a related project “NeuroRover”, we use spiking neural networks to control small robots. The robot’s brain, inspired by neural structures found in the honeybee, enables the machine to dynamically learn its environment and approach landmarks of interest – similar to… Continue Reading
