Rocky the Robot Squirrel and Other Robot Animals
     


A CNN
Technology article described Rocky, a robot squirrel being used by
researchers to study squirrel behavior in the real world. Rather than
observing squirrels in an artificial lab environment, Sarah Partan of
Hampshire College and other researchers are using robot squirrels to
study the
animals in the natural environment. Scientists hope to learn more about
squirrels communication techniques, social cues, and survival instincts.
In additional squirrel-droids, the article mentions other cases where
robots are being used to study
real animals in the wild including an intimidating robot lizard and
promiscuous robot cockroach. The article doesn't mention whether Rocky
has a built-in cell phone like the last robot squirrel we
covered.
