Learning of Central Pattern Generator Coordination in Robot Drawing [PDF]
Frontiers in Neurorobotics, 2018 How do robots learn to perform motor tasks in a specific condition and apply what they have learned in a new condition? This paper proposes a framework for motor coordination acquisition of a robot drawing straight lines within a part of the workspace ...

Optimal searching behaviour generated intrinsically by the central pattern generator for locomotion [PDF]
eLife, 2019 Efficient searching for resources such as food by animals is key to their survival. It has been proposed that diverse animals from insects to sharks and humans adopt searching patterns that resemble a simple Lévy random walk, which is theoretically ...

Invertebrate central pattern generator circuits [PDF]
Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2010 There are now a reasonable number of invertebrate central pattern generator (CPG) circuits described in sufficient detail that a mechanistic explanation of how they work is possible. These small circuits represent the best-understood neural circuits with which to investigate how cell-to-cell synaptic connections and individual channel conductances ...

Potential role of a ventral nerve cord central pattern generator in forward and backward locomotion in Caenorhabditis elegans [PDF]
Network Neuroscience, 2018 C. elegans locomotes in an undulatory fashion, generating thrust by propagating dorsoventral bends along its body. Although central pattern generators (CPGs) are typically involved in animal locomotion, their presence in C.

Central Pattern Generator with Defined Pulse Signals for Compliant-Resistant Control of Biped Robots. [PDF]
Biomimetics (Basel), 2023 For biped robots, the ability to maintain balance under external forces is an essential requirement. Inspired by human beings’ behaviors to resist external forces, a compliant-resistant balance-control method is proposed to keep the biped robot ...

Feedforward discharges couple the singing central pattern generator and ventilation central pattern generator in the cricket abdominal central nervous system. [PDF]
J Comp Physiol A Neuroethol Sens Neural Behav Physiol, 2019 We investigated the central nervous coordination between singing motor activity and abdominal ventilatory pumping in crickets. Fictive singing, with sensory feedback removed, was elicited by eserine-microinjection into the brain, and the motor activity ...

Central pattern generator control of a vertebrate ultradian sleep rhythm. [PDF]
NatureThe mechanisms underlying the mammalian ultradian sleep rhythm—the alternation of rapid-eye-movement (REM) and slow-wave (SW) states—are not well understood but probably depend, at least in part, on circuits in the brainstem1,2,3,4,5,6.
