Deep learning algorithms reveal increased social activity in rats at the onset of the dark phase of the light/dark cycle.

PloS one
The rapid decrease of light intensity is a potent stimulus of rats' activity. The nature of this activity, including the character of social behavior and the composition of concomitant ultrasonic vocalizations (USVs), is unknown. Using deep learning ...

Monitoring poultry social dynamics using colored tags: Avian visual perception, behavioral effects, and artificial intelligence precision.

Poultry science
Artificial intelligence (AI) in animal behavior and welfare research is on the rise. AI can detect behaviors and localize animals in video recordings, thus it is a valuable tool for studying social dynamics. However, maintaining the identity of indiv...

AI-induced indifference: Unfair AI reduces prosociality.

Cognition
The growing prevalence of artificial intelligence (AI) in our lives has brought the impact of AI-based decisions on human judgments to the forefront of academic scholarship and public debate. Despite growth in research on people's receptivity towards...

Merging sociality and robotics through an evolutionary perspective.

Science robotics
Robotics, using social mechanisms like hormonal modulation, may accelerate our understanding of core sociality principles.

Quantifying the biomimicry gap in biohybrid robot-fish pairs.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Biohybrid systems in which robotic lures interact with animals have become compelling tools for probing and identifying the mechanisms underlying collective animal behavior. One key challenge lies in the transfer of social interaction models from sim...

Ironies of social robotics.

Science robotics
Aiming for "humanlike" or "natural" interactions can make social robots and their limitations more difficult to understand.

Perception of motion salience shapes the emergence of collective motions.

Nature communications
Despite the profound implications of self-organization in animal groups for collective behaviors, understanding the fundamental principles and applying them to swarm robotics remains incomplete. Here we propose a heuristic measure of perception of mo...

Simple Behavioral Analysis (SimBA) as a platform for explainable machine learning in behavioral neuroscience.

Nature neuroscience
The study of complex behaviors is often challenging when using manual annotation due to the absence of quantifiable behavioral definitions and the subjective nature of behavioral annotation. Integration of supervised machine learning approaches mitig...

Social robots in research on social and cognitive development in infants and toddlers: A scoping review.

PloS one
There is currently no systematic review of the growing body of literature on using social robots in early developmental research. Designing appropriate methods for early childhood research is crucial for broadening our understanding of young children...

Children's anthropomorphism of inanimate agents.

Wiley interdisciplinary reviews. Cognitive science
This review article examines the extant literature on animism and anthropomorphism in infants and young children. A substantial body of work indicates that both infants and young children have a broad concept of what constitutes a sentient agent and ...
