Animal Simulation Laboratory

http://www.animalsimulation.org/

We are creating computer simulations of a number of animals and using them to investigate how they move and to extract details about their locomotor capabilities. We appreciate that simply creating simulations is not terribly useful so where possible we validate our simulations against experimental data. We are also looking at how groups of animals interact with each other and with their environments so that we can start to give our simulations the necessary behavioural repertoires for them to be able to survive in their virtual environments. This includes locomotion, foraging, resting and social behaviour.
