Robotic Female Birds
Attracting Males For Research
 
Robotic Female Birds

There's a funny applications of robotic birds described in the CNN article Birds and Bots: a Mating Tale. Researchers have created a female model of a bowerbird, which attracts the males and prompts them into seductive behaviour, giving intense but not too aggressive displays. How the female reacts determines the behaviour of the male, so the female robot allows the researchers to study the male behaviour in more detail than they otherwise could... there's not much Artificial Intelligence in there (if at all), but still worth a read if you need a chuckle!
