Decentralized Control Mechanism for Adaptive Locomotion in Centipedes: Transition Between Walking and Peristalsis

Centipedes adapt to various environmental changes by using different locomotor patterns. For example, when walking on land at high speed, they enhance propulsion by coordinating leg movements with body undulation.
