title = "Using robots to model biological behaviour",
abstract = "Robots can be used to instantiate and test hypotheses about biological systems. This approach to modelling can be described by a number of dimensions: relevance to biology; the level of representation; generality of the mechanisms; the amount of abstraction; the accuracy of the model; how well it matches the behaviour; and what medium is used to construct the model. This helps to clarify the potential advantages of this methodology for understanding how behaviour emerges from interactions between the animal, its task and the environment.",
