  • Abstract
    In this review we aim to facilitate closer contact between animal behaviour and robotics. In recent years cognitive psychology and cognitive ethology became interested in the mental mechanisms controlling the animal mind. However, this theoretical interest is hampered by several methodological problems. Interactive robots can offer a novel way to investigate cognitive skills in animals. It may be useful to construct robots that are specifically designed to interact with animals.
