An interactive research station of the Cluster of Excellence ‘Science of Intelligence’ (TU)
The robotic fish system consists of one or more fish robots that are recognised as conspecifics by living fish. As the robots can be controlled from a computer, a unique investigation of social interactions is possible, which play an important role in research into swarm intelligence or collective intelligence in the ‘SCIENCE OF INTELLIGENCE’ Cluster of Excellence. A robot that moves a fish dummy via a magnet travels under an aquarium. For animal welfare reasons, the interactive research station is only operated with live fish at selected times. At other times, live fish are projected as shadows onto the aquarium floor via a projector.
