Zusammenfassung

Das grundlegende Verständnis lebender Systeme ist ein fundamentales Ziel der Biologie. Dies beginnt mit der eher passiven Beobachtung und Messung und reicht über Manipulations- und Störungsexperimente bis hin zur Erschaffung neuer Lebensvarianten. Mit dem hier vorgestellten ASSISIbf-Manifest gehen wir nun einen deutlichen Schritt weiter und zielen auf die Erschaffung gänzlicher neuer bio-hybrider Chimären. Durch das Mischen ganzer Gesellschaften, zum Beispiel Tierschwärmen oder -kolonien mit Roboterverbänden, entstehen so soziale Cyborgs. Attrappen werden so zu autonomen Akteuren, die tief in das soziale Gefüge der untersuchten Tiere eindringen können. Die von uns betriebene Neuauflage der Attrappen-getriebenen Verhaltensforschung erlaubt Experimente, die zuvor noch nicht machbar waren: Mithilfe der Akteure, die in die tierische Gesellschaft zuvor eingeschleust wurden, können Informationen kontrolliert vom Experimentator in die Tiergesellschaft induziert werden. Aus der nachfolgenden Beobachtung der Tiere können Rückschlüsse auf die interne Informationsverarbeitung der tierischen Gesellschaft gezogen werden. Wir schlagen hier eine generelle Methode vor, mit der organismisches Verhalten möglichst automatisiert aus den im Fokus befindlichen Organismen extrahiert werden kann (z. B. durch Methoden des Maschinellen Sehens). Mit ebenfalls algorithmischen Methoden (z. B. Maschinelles Lernen, Evolutionäre Algorithmen o. Ä.) wird dann ein Verhaltens- und Interaktions-Modell dieser Lebewesen erzeugt. Implementiert man dieses Modell in künstliche „Mitspieler“ einer tierischen Gesellschaft, also z. B. in Roboter, die man in einen Tierschwarm einschleust, dann entstehen bio-hybride Gesellschaften auf diesem Weg beinahe vollautomatisch.
