Interlimb coordination plays an important role in adaptive locomotion of humans and
animals. This has been investigated using a split-belt treadmill, which imposes different …

In recent years, conventional model-based motion control has become more challenging
owing to the continuously increasing complexity of areas in which robots must operate and …

Exploring the fundamental mechanisms of locomotion extends beyond mere simulation and
modeling. It necessitates the utilization of physical test benches to validate hypotheses …

Millipedes increase the duty ratio and wavelength of their gait to enhance thrust force
against resistive load. However, the underlying control mechanisms responsible for …

Legged locomotion is realized by the inextricably linked interplay of mechanics and control.
While conventional engineering frameworks tended to focus merely on the control aspect …

Animals on Earth have evolved to counteract the effect of gravity, negotiate terrestrial
ground, and locomote efficiently for predation and survival. Locomotion is thus one of the …

刺激応答機構を用いた自動機械の歴史は紀元前の自動ドアにまでさかのぼる [1].
電子機器の発達していない時代にはカムやギア, スイッチやバルブを組み合わせた複雑な産業機械 …

抄録 This research aims to establish a design method for a robotic body with feedback
throughout the body, like animals' reflex systems. To realize it, we take a” brainless” …
