Sarah Partan, a specialist in animal behavior, is the creator of a mechanical squirrel named Rocky. Partan's team i
of undergraduate students is using Rocky to observe squirrels in their natural environment. They're hoping to
decode the squirrels' communication methods and social cues. They also want to understand the animal's
survival instincts. Partan constantly updates Rocky's technology. She also refines the robot's actions to make it
seem more squirrel-like. Rocky's movements are controlled by basic computer programs. The robot contains tiny
speakers that play recordings of real squirrels. The real squirrels don't seem to notice that Rocky is mounted on a
board.
