General Distributed Neural Control and Sensory Adaptation for Self-Organized Locomotion and Fast Adaptation to Damage of Walking Robots [PDF]
Walking animals such as invertebrates can effectively perform self-organized and robust locomotion. They can also quickly adapt their gait to deal with injury or damage.

Self-organized adaptive legged locomotion in a compliant quadruped robot [PDF]
In this contribution we present experiments of an adaptive locomotion controller on a compliant quadruped robot. The adaptive controller consists of adaptive frequency oscillators in different configurations and produces dynamic gaits such as bounding and jumping.

Diversity in emergent cell locomotion from the coupling cytosolic and cortical Marangoni flows with reaction-diffusion dynamics. [PDF]
Cell migration is a fundamental process underlying the survival and function of both unicellular and multicellular organisms. Crawling motility in eukaryotic cells arises from cyclic protrusion and retraction driven by the cytoskeleton, whose ...

AbstractLiving animals and legged robots share similar challenges for movement control. In particular, the investigation of neural control mechanisms for the self‐organized locomotion of insects and hexapod robots can be informative for other fields. The Annam stick insect Medauroidea extradentata is used as a template to develop a biorobotic model to ...

Kinematic Description of Self-Organized Leg Motion Transition in Human Locomotion Learning
Leg motion learning while walking backward with eyes closed on a treadmill was studied to gain information on self-organization in locomotion learning. Eight adults walked on a treadmill at a belt speed of 50 m/min for five minutes,, four times. The angles of the hip, knee, and ankle joints were calculated to describe lower limb motion transition with ...

A geometric framework for dynamics with unilateral constraints and friction, illustrated by an example of self-organized locomotion [PDF]
We present a geometric framework to deal with mechanical systems which have unilateral constraints, and are subject to damping/friction, which cannot be treated within usual classical mechanics. In this new framework, the dynamical evolution of the system takes place on a multidimensional curvilinear polyhedron, and energetics near the corners of the ...
