Biological homeostasis principles have inspired the development of autonomous modular robots controlled by artificial hormone systems.

Some robotic systems adopt a modular design where individual units communicate via artificial hormones—chemical-like signals that regulate behavior and adaptation. These systems mimic the way biological organisms use hormones to maintain homeostasis at a cellular level. Modularity coupled with homeostatic control allows robots to be scalable, self-organizing, and robust against failures, enhancing adaptability.
