About

Arrigo Croce is a pioneering researcher at the intersection of robotics, ethology, and control theory, best known for his groundbreaking work in bio-inspired robotics and animal-robot interaction. His major contribution lies in developing model-based feedback control systems that enable real-time regulation of live animal behavior, most notably demonstrated through his work with zebrafish and robotic replicas. In his highly cited 2019 study, Croce achieved the remarkable feat of controlling live zebrafish behavior by designing a robotic replica that interacts with the animals in a closed-loop feedback system, a breakthrough that bridges engineering control theory with biological behavioral studies. This work, which has garnered 17 citations, represents a significant advancement in the field of animal-robot interaction, offering new possibilities for both biological research and robotic design. Croce's research has profound implications for understanding collective behavior, developing autonomous systems, and creating novel experimental paradigms in behavioral neuroscience. His innovative approach continues to inspire researchers in both engineering and biology, demonstrating how robotic systems can serve as powerful tools for probing and influencing living systems.
