Classical and interactive biorobotics are models, according to the similarity and inferential conceptions.

	Similarity conception	Inferential conception
		Condition 1	Condition 2
Classical biorobotics (Bou Mansour et al., 2019)	Yes. The robotic bat resembles a bat in the control mechanism	Yes. The robotic bat is taken by the authors to represent a bat	Yes. The robotic bat can be used to draw inferences about bats
Interactive biorobotics (Romano et al., 2019a)	Yes. The robotic gecko resembles a gecko in the external appearance	Yes. The robotic gecko is taken by the authors to represent a gecko	Yes. The robotic gecko can be used to draw inferences about geckos
