http://csnetwork.eu/podcast/ We can learn a lot from brains and bodies when making machines and robots. But reversely, building complex machine systems can also give ideas about how brains and bodies have implemented their functioning over the evolution of ages. This podcast discusses various themes and aspects in-between robotics, neuroscience, cognitive science, artificial intelligence, biology, and technology.

In particular, we look at the theoretical approach that Jose follows to understand behavior of ants and fish. Starting with these models, Jose has now developed a new approach that introduces biomimetic robots in animal collectives creating hybrid populations. The opportunities and challenges of this paradigm are analyzed and we speculate about its broader implications and applications. In particular, we analyze the broader challenges of building models that define life, that can drive synthetic biology and that can guide ethics and policy making.
