Robot Deception and Squirrel Behavior: A Case Study in Bio-inspired Robotics

Abstract

A common behavior in animals and human beings is deception. Deceptive behavior in robotics is potentially beneficial in several domains ranging from the military to a more everyday context. In our research, novel algorithms were developed for the deceptive behavior of a robot, inspired by the observed deceptive behavior of squirrels for cache protection strategies, then evaluating the results via simulation studies. In this paper, we present this bioinspired algorithm for robot deception and observe whether the algorithm is truly applicable in actual robot systems.
