The aim is to work independently on a scientific topic in the field of biologically inspired algorithms and robot technologies. Students are able to independently carry out a literature search on the state of research, summarize external work accurately, relate it to each other and evaluate it. The results and content can be summerized in a seminar paper and an oral presentation.

Biologically inspired robots and their methods and technologies transfer concepts for problem solving from nature to mechanical design, sensor technology, navigation, control and interpretation, among other things. These solution approaches are approximated by technical systems. The spectrum of robotics inspired by biology ranges from multi-legged walking robots, distributed sensor concepts and lightweight construction to machine learning methods and neuromorphic hardware.
