Barbara Webb is a professor at the School of Informatics, University of Edinburgh, specializing in biorobotics, insect behaviour, and neural circuits. Her research explores how robots can model biological behaviour, focusing on insect navigation, path integration, and sensory integration. Webb investigates neural mechanisms underlying insect cognition, including forward models and mushroom body circuits involved in memory and navigation. Her work bridges robotics and neuroscience, using robotic models to study insect behaviour and neural function. She has published extensively on topics such as cricket phonotaxis, ant navigation, and the role of neural circuits in learning and memory. Her research contributes to understanding how insects process environmental cues and navigate complex environments.
