This paper presents biologically inspired neural controllers for generating motor patterns in a quadruped robot. Sets of arti cial neural networks are presented which provide 1 p...
— We describe here a mechanism for controlling angles of a human-like joint using length sensors in threedimensional (3D) space. This joint mechanism, which is called a loosely c...
This paper outlines aspects of locomotor control in insects that may serve as the basis for the design of controllers for autonomous hexapod robots. Control of insect walking can b...
— Human walking emerges from synergy of whole body dynamics: not only legs, but also a torso, arms, and a head are compliantly connected with each other by antagonistic muscles. ...
— It is expected that variation of leg compliance, that is determined not only by joint compliance but by joint angle, contributes to provide multi-modal locomotion such as walki...
