Abstract :
This paper introduces the main objectives of the neurobotics project aimed at designing and developing innovative hybrid bionic systems (HBSs) by fusing neuroscience and robotics. Eight different HBSs have been jointly designed and are being developed. This paper presents in detail the telepresence platform. The neurobotics artificial lamprey model has been designed to validate a number of neuroscience models and to investigate new telepresence strategies
