چکیده

In biological systems, the rhythm generator mechanism called Central Pattern Generator (CPG) is involved in rhythmic activities, such as locomotion, respiration, heartbeat, etc, and various mathematical neuron models are proposed. In this paper, the CPG network consists of the Matsuoka neuron model, and is introduced to realize the locomotion of a bipedal robot. The outputs of neurons are utilized as the target angles of corresponding joints. And the parameters are optimized using Genetic Algorithm, which has several steps to find out large number of parameters according to structure of CPG network. The bipedal walk simulations are carried out using Matlab and DADS.

Gait Generation for a Bipedal System By Morris-Lecar Central Pattern Generator

The ability to move in complex environments is one of the most important features of humans and animals. In this work, we exploit a bio-inspired method to generate different gaits in a bipedal locomotion system. We use the 4-cell CPG model developed by Pinto [21]. This model has been established on symmetric coupling between the cells which are responsible for generating oscillatory signals. Th...

Gait transition in a central pattern generator for bipeds ⋆

In this paper we study gait transition in a central pattern generator (CPG) model for bipedal locomotion. This model is proposed by Golubitsky, Stewart, Buono and Collins (14; 15) and is studied further by Pinto and Golubitsky (28). It is a network of four coupled identical cells, with D2 symmetry. Each cell is modeled by a system of ordinary differential equations. We briefly review the work d...

A combination of central pattern generator-based and reflex-based neural networks for dynamic, adaptive, robust bipedal locomotion

Robotic systems inspired from humans have always been lightening up the curiosity of engineers and scientists. Of many challenges, human locomotion is a very difficult one where a number of different systems needs to interact in order to generate a correct and balanced pattern. To simulate the interaction of these systems, implementations with reflexbased or central pattern generator (CPG)-base...

Evolution of central pattern generators for the control of a five-link bipedal walking mechanism

With the aim of producing a stable human-like bipedal gait, a five-link planar walking mechanism was coupled with a central pattern generator (CPG) neural network, consisting of units based on Matsuoka half-center oscillator model with a firm basis in neurophysiologic studies. As a minimalistic approach to bipedal walking, this type of walking mechanism contains only four actuators, and is lack...
