Perceptual robotics is an interdisciplinary science linking Robotics and Neuroscience. As a working definition, the the following quote from The Handbook of Robotics, Chapter 64 by H. Bülthoff, C. Wallraven and M. Giese could be used:

In the following we will apply the term Perceptual Robotics to signify the design of robots based on principles that are derived from human perception on all three levels in the sense of Marr. This includes a realization in terms of specific neural circuits as well as the transfer of more abstract biologically-inspired strategies for the solution of relevant computational problems.
