The CPGs for Limbed Locomotion-Facts and Fiction.

International journal of molecular sciences
The neuronal networks that generate locomotion are well understood in swimming animals such as the lamprey, zebrafish and tadpole. The networks controlling locomotion in tetrapods remain, however, still enigmatic with an intricate motor pattern requi...

Collision Avoidance and Stability Study of a Self-Reconfigurable Drainage Robot.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
The inspection and maintenance of drains with varying heights necessitates a drain mapping robot with trained labour to maintain community hygiene and prevent the spread of diseases. For adapting to level changes and navigating in the narrow confined...

Locomotor transitions in the potential energy landscape-dominated regime.

Proceedings. Biological sciences
To traverse complex three-dimensional terrain with large obstacles, animals and robots must transition across different modes. However, the most mechanistic understanding of terrestrial locomotion concerns how to generate and stabilize near-steady-st...

Exploiting telerobotics for sensorimotor rehabilitation: a locomotor embodiment.

Journal of neuroengineering and rehabilitation
BACKGROUND: Manual treadmill training is used for rehabilitating locomotor impairments but can be physically demanding for trainers. This has been addressed by enlisting robots, but in doing so, the ability of trainers to use their experience and jud...

Somatosensitive film soft crawling robots driven by artificial muscle for load carrying and multi-terrain locomotion.

Materials horizons
Somatosensitive soft crawling robotics is highly desired for load carrying and multi-terrain locomotion. The motor-driven skeleton robots and pneumatic robots are effective and well-developed, while the bulk size, rigidity, or complexity limit their ...

Using a biologically mimicking climbing robot to explore the performance landscape of climbing in lizards.

Proceedings. Biological sciences
Locomotion is a key aspect associated with ecologically relevant tasks for many organisms, therefore, survival often depends on their ability to perform well at these tasks. Despite this significance, we have little idea how different performance tas...

Scaling Up Soft Robotics: A Meter-Scale, Modular, and Reconfigurable Soft Robotic System.

Soft robotics
Today's use of large-scale industrial robots is enabling extraordinary achievement on the assembly line, but these robots remain isolated from the humans on the factory floor because they are very powerful, and thus dangerous to be around. In contras...

Effective recognition of human lower limb jump locomotion phases based on multi-sensor information fusion and machine learning.

Medical & biological engineering & computing
Jump locomotion is the basic movement of human. However, no thorough research on the recognition of jump sub-phases has been carried so far. This paper aims to use multi-sensor information fusion and machine learning to recognize the human jump phase...

Dog galloping on rough terrain exhibits similar limb co-ordination patterns and gait variability to that on flat terrain.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Understanding how animals regulate their gait during locomotion can give biological insight and inspire controllers for robots. Why animals use the gallop at the highest speeds remains incompletely explained. Hypothesized reasons for galloping includ...

Locomotion with Pedestrian Aware from Perception Sensor by Pavement Sweeping Reconfigurable Robot.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Regular washing of public pavements is necessary to ensure that the public environment is sanitary for social activities. This is a challenge for autonomous cleaning robots, as they must adapt to the environment with varying pavement widths while avo...
