Sensor-Based Programming of Central Pattern Generators in Humanoid Robots
International Journal of Advanced Robotic Systems, 2013 In the present article, a method for generating curvilinear bipedal walking patterns is proposed which is able to generate rhythmic and periodic trajectories for a Nao soccer player robot. To do so, a programmable central pattern generator was used which

Conditions for multi-functionality in a rhythm generating network inspired by turtle scratching [PDF]
, 2015 Rhythmic behaviors such as breathing, walking, and scratching are vital to many species. Such behaviors can emerge from groups of neurons, called central pattern generators, in the absence of rhythmic inputs.

Rhythmic movements in sleep disorders and in epileptic seizures during sleep
Sleep Science and Practice, 2020 Rhythmic movements during sleep may occur in the context of physiological sleep-related motor activity or be part of sleep-related movement disorders such as bruxism, periodic limb movement disorder, restless legs syndrome, and sleep-related rhythmic ...

Contributions of phase resetting and interlimb coordination to the adaptive control of hindlimb obstacle avoidance during locomotion in rats: a simulation study. [PDF]
, 2013 Obstacle avoidance during locomotion is essential for safe, smooth locomotion. Physiological studies regarding muscle synergy have shown that the combination of a small number of basic patterns produces the large part of muscle activities during ...

Towards a neural hierarchy of time scales for motor control [PDF]
, 2012 Animals show remarkable rich motion skills which are still far from realizable with robots. Inspired by the neural circuits which generate rhythmic motion patterns in the spinal cord of all vertebrates, one main research direction points towards the use ...

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 ...

Generation and control of locomotion patterns for biped robots by using central pattern generators [PDF]
, 2017 This paper presents an efficient closed-loop locomotion control system for biped robots that operates in the joint space. The robot’s joints are directly driven through control signals generated by a central pattern generator (CPG) network.
