Visuomotor Control: Not So Simple Insect Locomotion
Observations of locusts walking on a horizontal ladder demonstrate that front leg movements are targeted by visual and antennal cues, suggesting sophisticated motor control mechanisms for these seemingly simple animals.
متن کاملGait transition from swimming to walking: investigation of salamander locomotion control using nonlinear oscillators
This article presents a model of the salamander’s locomotion controller based on nonlinear oscillators. Using numerical simulations of both the controller and of the body, we investigated different systems of coupled oscillators that can produce the typical swimming and walking gaits of the salamander. Since the exact organization of the salamander’s locomotor circuits is currently unknown, we ...
متن کاملWhen does a gait transition occur during human locomotion?
When a treadmill accelerates continuously, the walk-run transition has generally been assumed to occur at the instant when a flight phase is first observed, while the run-walk transition has been assumed to occur at the instant of the first double support period. There is no theoretical or empirical evidence to suggest that gait transitions occur at the instant of these events, nor even whether...
متن کاملAdaptive gait pattern control of a quadruped locomotion robot
The authors have proposed a control system of a quadruped locomotion robot by using nonlinear oscillators. It is composed of a leg motion controller and a gait pattern controller. The leg motion controller drives the actuators of the legs by using local feedback control. The gait pattern controller involves nonlinear oscillators with mutual interactions. In this paper, capability of adaptation ...
متن کاملGait Regulation Control Techniques for Robust Legged Locomotion
This thesis develops methods of control that allow a multi-legged robot to vary its stepping pattern, the gait of a robot, during locomotion. By constructing feedback control around the gaits a robot may use, we produce behaviors allowing a robot to switch amongst or return to certain gaits while performing feedback control during locomotion. Gait regulation is one specific aspect of gait-based...
