BBC: Dancing robots reveal cultural cues

Seems like this study is related to what we call "the folk process" and "we do it differently in our village" :-)

"Prior to being let loose, some of the robots had been programmed to perform different dances - essentially an intricate series of movements.
The researchers planned to find out how culture and shared behavioural traditions got passed on by studying how the robots told each other about these dances."
