This article attempts to show that current trends in bio-inspired robotics research are incompatible with the transformations needed to address the current ecological crisis. A large part of the scientific community takes refuge behind short-term challenges to avoid facing the truth : contrary to some stated ambitions, bio-inspired and soft-robotics research activities are contributing to the overstepping of planetary limits, including the decline of biodiversity and global warming.
本文试图表明，当前仿生机器人研究的趋势与应对当前生态危机所需的变革不相容。很大一部分科学界人士以短期挑战为借口，逃避面对现实：与一些宣称的目标相反，仿生和软机器人研究活动正在导致超越地球极限，包括生物多样性下降和全球变暖。
