— The real time flexible operation of a car-like mobile robot with nonholonomic constraints in dynamic environment is still a very challenging problem. The difficulty lies in t...
— Passive dynamics plays an important role in legged locomotion of the biological systems. The use of passive dynamics is expected for energy efficiency, self-stabilization agai...
— This paper explores the space of active modular trusses, ranging from a passive truss with one independent active climbing module to fully self-reconfiguring dynamically contr...

— This paper presents a method for the control of locomotion in a robot hexapod. The approach is based on the WalkNet structure, which in turn is based on the neural control stru...
