摘　　要：人们正在研发机器人,将其融入动物群,参与和协调动物群体自组织行为和决策过程,以达到控制动物群体的目的.这种由动物与机器人组成的混合社群,因其潜在应用前景而备受关注.但要成功地将机器人融入动物群面临诸多挑战,其中一个主要挑战是如何使机器人被动物群体接受并与之合作.围绕这个问题,本文从仿生机器人研发和引入动物群方式两个方面,综合评述了动物-机器混合社群的研发现状和发展趋势,指出因动物亲属识别能力,机器人外形的仿生设计很难使其被动物接受,提出未来应重视利用动物群个体间互动规则构建动物-机器混合社群,包括基于动物局部互动规则的自适应机器人研发和基于动物印记学习机制的机器人融入方式创新,以及为此需要努力解决的若干关键问题.Robots are being developed by researchers to be integrated into an animal group to form an animal-robot mixed society.In such a mixed society,the robots are expected to be able to manipulate and control the animal group through their taking part in the group's self-organized behaviors and decision-making processes.The animal-robot mixed societies offer a powerful tool to advance the research of collective behaviors and their evolution.They can also be explored to manage domestic animals and wildlife,such as guiding them to specific places or away from danger.Due to their potential applications,the development of animal-robot mixed societies has recently elicited great interest in both the scientific and technological communities.However,to successfully integrate robots into an animal group faces many tougher challenges.One of the major challenges is how to enable the integrated robots to be accepted by animals as their group members to work with.In this review,we focus on the issue of the robots accepted by animals and provide a systematical review on the current state of the art of biomimetic robot designs and their integration ways,which are the two key aspects of creating an animal-robot mixed society.First,we take,for instance,the interactions between the specifically designed robots and one group of a single animal species,and point out that the bionic designs of robots exhibiting life-like appearance are less likely to promote the animals to accept and follow them because of animals' kin recognition,by which group members may be identified.Secondly,we provide an in-depth discussion of the successful integration of robots into an animal group based on the imprint learning,a form of learning in which a very young animal fixes its attention on the first object and thereafter follows that object,and highlight the significance of social interaction rules in reinforcing animal-robot interactions.Finally,we propose that the future endeavors should focus on the social interaction rules-based technological innovatio
