Fish and robots swimming together in a water tunnel: robot color and tail-beat frequency influence fish behavior.

The possibility of integrating bioinspired robots in groups of live social animals may constitute a valuable tool to study the basis of social behavior and uncover the fundamental determinants of animal functions and dysfunctions. In this study, we investigate the interactions between individual gol...
