The authors have proposed a dynamic turning control system of a quadruped robot by using nonlinear oscillators. It is composed of a spontaneous locomotion controller and voluntary...
— The development of an oscillator controller for a quadruped robot with antagonistic pairs of pneumatic actuators is reported. Periodic motions of the legs switch between the sw...
— Central Pattern Generators (CPGs) are becoming a popular model for the control of locomotion of legged robots. Biological CPGs are neural networks responsible for the generatio...
— There is much to gain from providing walking machines with passive dynamics, e.g. by including compliant elements in the structure. These elements can offer interesting propert...
— Dynamic stability allows running animals to maintain preferred speed during locomotion over rough terrain. It appears that rapid disturbance rejection is an emergent property o...
