Representation of the basic structure of classical (A) and interactive (B) biorobotics. In classical biorobotics, the robot is used as a surrogate to reason on the target living system, the robot replaces the target system, the target system is not part of the experimental scenario, and the target of the analysis is the robot. In interactive biorobotics, the robot is used to stimulate the target living system, the robot does not replace the target system, the target system is part of the experimental scenario, and the target of the analysis is the target living system.
