(40 points)Text 1Rats and other animals need to be highly at tuned to social signals from others so that can identify friends to cooperate with and enemies to avoid. To find out if this extends to non-living beings, Loleh Quinn at the University of California, San Diego, and her colleaguestestedwhether rats can detectsocial signalsform robotic rats.They housed eight adult rats with two types of robotic rat- one social and oneasocial for 5 our days. The robots rats were quite minimalist, resembling a chunkier version of a computer mousewith wheels-to move around and colorful markings.During the experiment, the social robot rat followed the living rats around,played with the same toys, and opened caged doors to let trapped rats escape. Meanwhile, the asocial robot simply moved forwards and backwardsand sideto sideNext, the researchers trapped the robots in cages and gave the rats the opportunity to releasethem by pressinga lever.Across 18 trials each, the living rats were 52 percent more likely on averageto set the social robot free than the asocial one. This suggeststhat the rats perceived the social robot as a genuine social being. They may have bonded more with the social robot becauseit displayed behaviours like communal exploring and playing. This could lead to the rats better remembering having freed it earlier, and wanting the robot to return the favour when they get trapped, saysQuinn.
