When animals walk overground, mechanical stimuli activate various receptors located in
muscles, joints and skin. Afferents from these mechanoreceptors project to neuronal …

Animal locomotion is the result of complex and multi-layered interactions between the
nervous system, the musculo-skeletal system and the environment. Decoding the underlying …

The ability to generate and control locomotor movements depends on complex interactions
between many areas of the nervous system, the musculoskeletal system, and the …

Neuro-and biomorphic approaches in the design of intelligent robotic systems and, more
specifically, various technical applications have attracted much attention from researchers …

Due to external interference, such as waves, the success of underwater missions depends
on the turning performance of the vehicle. Manta rays use two broad pectoral fins for …

Humans are able to outperform robots in terms of robustness, versatility, and learning of new
tasks in a wide variety of movements. We hypothesize that highly nonlinear muscle …

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 …

Recent studies have served to emphasize the unique placement of amphibians, composed
of more than 8000 species, in the evolution of the brain. We provide an overview of the three …

Bionic fish have received widespread attention due to their high mobility, high concealment
and high propulsion efficiency. Trajectory tracking and tracking accuracy are the main …

This study aims at the analytical and numerical investigations of Josephson junction (JJ)
neuron circuits actuating a mechanical arm and the array. The rate equations for the …
