Self-organising bio-inspired reflex circuits for robust motor coordination in artificial musculoskeletal systems.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Artificial musculoskeletal systems mimic mammalian biomechanics using antagonistic muscles and rigid skeletons. They offer benefits such as adjustable stiffness, back-drivability, and muscle failure tolerance but are difficult to model and control du...

Bird-inspired reflexive morphing enables rudderless flight.

Science robotics
Gliding birds lack a vertical tail, yet they fly stably rudderless in turbulence without needing discrete flaps to steer. In contrast, nearly all airplanes need vertical tails to damp Dutch roll oscillations and to control yaw. The few exceptions tha...

Antiferromagnetic artificial neuron modeling of the withdrawal reflex.

Journal of computational neuroscience
Replicating neural responses observed in biological systems using artificial neural networks holds significant promise in the fields of medicine and engineering. In this study, we employ ultra-fast artificial neurons based on antiferromagnetic (AFM) ...

[Laboratory testing for anemia in primary care: reflex testing, reflecting and algorithms?].

Nederlands tijdschrift voor geneeskunde
This commentary discusses the prevalence and causes of anemia in primary care in the Netherlands and the role of laboratory diagnostics in determining the cause of anemia. There are indications that guidelines in primary care regarding anemia are ins...

Combining Reflexes and External Sensory Information in a Neuromusculoskeletal Model to Control a Quadruped Robot.

IEEE transactions on cybernetics
This article examines the importance of integrating locomotion and cognitive information for achieving dynamic locomotion from a viewpoint combining biology and ecological psychology. We present a mammalian neuromusculoskeletal model from external se...

Reflex and reflective laboratory interventions for adding value to test results; an integral part of laboratory stewardship.

Clinical biochemistry
Post-analytical reflexive (automated) and/or reflective (patient tailored and thought driven) interventions (PARRI), have played a subsidiary role in many diagnostic laboratories, despite mounting evidence of their clinical value. The ever-pervasive ...

Distributed-force-feedback-based reflex with online learning for adaptive quadruped motor control.

Neural networks : the official journal of the International Neural Network Society
Biological motor control mechanisms (e.g., central pattern generators (CPGs), sensory feedback, reflexes, and motor learning) play a crucial role in the adaptive locomotion of animals. However, the interaction and integration of these mechanisms - ne...

Bio-inspired neuromuscular reflex based hopping controller for a segmented robotic leg.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
It has been shown that human-like hopping can be achieved by muscle reflex control in neuromechanical simulations. However, it is unclear if this concept is applicable and feasible for controlling a real robot. This paper presents a low-cost two-segm...

Strain-controlled power devices as inspired by human reflex.

Nature communications
Bioinspired electronics are rapidly promoting advances in artificial intelligence. Emerging AI applications, e.g., autopilot andĀ robotics, increasingly spur the development of power devices with new forms. Here, we present a strain-controlled power d...

Template for the neural control of directed stepping generalized to all legs of MantisBot.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
We previously developed a neural controller for one leg of our six-legged robot, MantisBot, that could direct locomotion toward a goal by modulating leg-local reflexes with simple descending commands from a head sensor. In this work, we successfully ...
