The Idea of Function in Biology and Robotics as Reflected in the “RoboCoq” Project
Archive ouverte
Edité par CCSD ; Springer International Publishing -
International audience. RoboCoq was an interdisciplinary project that brought together a consortium of robotics and morphology researchers to design a bipedal ornithological robot. We approached the same function, namely, bird walking, with different approaches: one biological and the other technological. The goals of the collaborators were quite distinct: on one hand to understand how an existing biological system works and on the other hand to design an effective mechanical system. In this chapter we present the testimony of an interdisciplinary collaboration, between evolutionary biologists and robotic scientists, around the study of bird walking, walking being perceived in this context as a locomotor function. We present our common project, identify our expectations, and share the difficulties and methodological and conceptual improvements that this work has brought us. Our goal is to provide analysis, through the explanation of our work, of our perceptions of the notion of function in biology and robotics.
