Incomplete date June 2009 A robotics suite is a visual environment for robot control and simulation . They are typically an end to end platform for robotics development and include tools for visual programming and creating and debugging robot application s. Developers can often interact with robots through Internet web based or visual interfaces. One objective of a robotics suite is to support a variety of different robot platforms through a common programming interface. The key point about a robotics suite is that the same code will run either with a simulated robot or the corresponding real robot without modification.

Primary sources date December 2007 Perceptual robotics is an interdisciplinary science linking Robotics and Neuroscience . It investigates biologically motivated robot control strategies, concentrating on Perception perceptual rather than Cognition cognitive processes and thereby sides with J. J. Gibson s view against the Poverty of the stimulus theory. As a working definition, the following quote from Chapter 64 by H. B lthoff, C. Wallraven and M. Giese from The Springer Handbook of Robotics , edited by B. Siciliano and O. Khatib, published by Springer in 2007, could be used blockquote In the following we will apply the term Perceptual Robotics to signify the design of robots based on principles that are derived from human perception on all three levels in the sense of Marr. This includes a realization in terms of specific neural circuits as well as the transfer of more abstract biologically inspired strategies for the solution of relevant computational problems. blockquote See also David Marr neuroscientist including a short description of the three levels of perception http www.percro.org PERCRO Perceptual Robotics Laboratory , Scuola Superiore Sant Anna, Pisa, Italy Category Robotics science stub robot stub ... more details

For the art movement, see biomorphism . Citations missing date September 2008 Biomorphic robotics is a sub discipline of robotics focused upon emulating the mechanics , sensor systems , computing structures and methodologies used by animal s. In short, it is building robots inspired by the principles of biological systems. One of the most prominent researchers in the field of biomorphic robotics has been Mark W. Tilden , who has taken Rodney Brooks theory of removing the world model from robots to a low hardware level not even using microprocessors. This is not to say the lack of microprocessors makes something biomorphic quite the contrary. There is a huge amount of work be done implementing biological nervous and neural networks into computing devices. In contrast M. Anthony Lewis roboticist M. Anthony Lewis has used the field of biomorphic robots to study how humans and animals use biologically inspired principles to negotiate the complexities of the real world. The difference between neuromorphics and biomorphics is believed to be that neuromorphics focuses on analogue control and sensor systems as opposed to biomorphics trying to implement biological methods on the whole system. An excellent example of a biomorphic machine is the Snakebot robot snake . See also Animatronics External links Portal Robotics One of the more prolific annual Biomorphic conferences is at the http www.ini.unizh.ch telluride Neuromorphic Engineering Workshop .
