Is there a research field which holds close connections between computational neuroscience and classical robotics Is there a research field which holds close connections between computational neuroscience and classical robotics, particularly building corresponding robots to  implement and test the theories from computational neuroscience ?
Yes, it's often called Neurorobotics. There are several labs doing this kind of research. Here's a small sample:


Jeff Krichmar at UC Irvine.
The Neurorobotics Research Laboratory at Humboldt Unveristy
The Neurorobotics Lab at Drexel University
Jun Tani at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology
NxR at Northwestern
