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

In recent years, research on insect motor behaviour―locomotion in particular―has provided
a number of important new insights, many of which became possible because of …

Mastering a rich repertoire of motor behaviors, as humans and other animals do, is a
surprising and still a poorly understood outcome of evolution, development, and learning …

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 …

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 …

Though well established in mammals, the cognitive map hypothesis has engendered a
decades-long, ongoing debate in insect navigation studies involving many of the field's most …

Articulated legs enable the selection of robot gaits, including walking in different directions
such as forward or sideways. For longer distances, the best gaits might maximize velocity or …

Neurobiological studies have shown that insects are able to adapt leg movements and
posture for obstacle negotiation in changing environments. Moreover, the distance to an …

Animals dynamically adapt to varying terrain and small perturbations with remarkable ease.
These adaptations arise from complex interactions between the environment and …
