Roboter

 The Goal: Computer simulations and implementation of robots are a critical test for algorithms and neuronal circuits inferred from biological research. When comparing robot to fly behavior the possible outcomes are (1) the proof of the concept, (2) starting-points for additional research, or (3) disclosure of emergent properties. Technical Spin-off: Biologically inspired construction principles and control algorithms are likely to improve the performance of mobile robots.
