Combining central pattern generators and reflexes
Neurocomputing, 2015Locomotion of quadruped robots has not yet achieved the robustness, harmony, efficiency and flexibility of its biological counterparts. Biological evidences showed that there is a two-way interaction between the Central Pattern Generators (CPGs) and the body in the locomotion process of animals.

On the parametric stability of a central pattern generator
Neurocomputing, 2000Abstract In this study, one subunit of the nerve network that gives rise to swimming oscillations in Hirudo was implemented in electronic hardware and characterized for its range and stability. Based on documentation from in-vivo studies, the network was re-created in analog VLSI hardware on a nerve-by-nerve, synapse-by-synapse basis.

A model of the respiratory central pattern generator
The 26th Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, 2005We have developed a model of the mammalian respiratory central pattern generator (rCPG) to mimic the salient characteristics of its constituent medullary neurons. This model was designed as a network of Hodgkin-Huxley type medullary neurons under the hypothesis that synaptic and network effects predominate over ionic influences in determining the ...

Development of central pattern generating circuits
Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 2005The networks that generate rhythmic motor patterns in invertebrates and vertebrates are ideal for studying the mechanisms by which functional circuits are formed during development. Rhythmic motor patterns and movements are seen embryonically, before they are needed for behavior; recent work suggests that activity in immature spinal cord networks is ...

Walking Pattern Generator Using an Evolutionary Central Pattern Generator
2010For the generation of locomotion, such as walking, running or swimming, vertebrate and invertebrate animals use the Central PatternGenerator (CPG). In this paper, a walking pattern generator is proposed using an evolutionary optimized CPG. Sensory feedback pathways in CPG are proposed, which uses Force Sensing Resistor (FSR) signals.

Central pattern generators for bipedal locomotion
Journal of Mathematical Biology, 2006Golubitsky, Stewart, Buono and Collins proposed two models for the achitecture of central pattern generators (CPGs): one for bipeds (which we call leg) and one for quadrupeds (which we call quad). In this paper we use symmetry techniques to classify the possible spatiotemporal symmetries of periodic solutions that can exist in leg (there are 10 ...

Computational Model of a Central Pattern Generator
2006The buccal ganglia of Aplysia contain a central pattern generator (CPG) that mediates rhythmic movements of the foregut during feeding. This CPG is a multifunctional circuit and generates at least two types of buccal motor patterns (BMPs), one that mediates ingestion (iBMP) and another that mediates rejection (rBMP).

CEPAGE: A toolbox for Central Pattern Generator analysis
2017 IEEE International Symposium on Circuits and Systems (ISCAS), 2017This paper is focused on a new object-oriented toolbox, called CEPAGE, devoted to simulation and analysis of Central Pattern Generators (CPGs). A CPG is a little group of neurons producing periodical patterns, which control rhythmic activities of animals.
