Walknet comprises an artificial neural network that allows for the simulation of a
considerable amount of behavioral data obtained from walking and standing stick insects. It …

Walking animals produce adaptive interlimb coordination during locomotion in accordance
with their situation. Interlimb coordination is generated through the dynamic interactions of …

Decentralization is a central characteristic of biological motor control that allows for fast
responses relying on local sensory information. In contrast, the current trend of Deep …

The analysis of inter-leg coordination in insect walking is generally a study of six-legged
locomotion. For decades, the stick insect Carausius morosus has been instrumental for …

Legged locomotion results from a combination of central pattern generating network (CPG)
activity and intralimb and interlimb sensory feedback. Data on the neural basis of interlimb …

Controlling the six legs of an insect walking in an unpredictable environment is a
challenging task, as many degrees of freedom have to be coordinated. Solutions proposed …

An originally chaotic system can be controlled into various periodic dynamics. When it is
implemented into a legged robot's locomotion control as a central pattern generator (CPG) …

Moving in a cluttered environment with a six-legged walking machine that has additional
body actuators, therefore controlling 22 DoFs, is not a trivial task. Already simple forward …

Featured Application This study investigated a new method to generate a fault-tolerant gait
of a hexapod robot. The adjustment measure is put forward to improve the stability margin …

Locomotion in animals is characterized as a stable, rhythmic behavior which at the same
time is flexible and extremely adaptive. Many motor control approaches have taken …
