CPG-based control of a turtle-like underwater vehicle
We present a new bio-inspired control strategy for an autonomous underwater vehicle by constructing coupled nonlinear oscillators, similar to the animal central pattern generators ...

Robust entrainment to natural oscillations of asymmetric systems arising from animal locomotion
We consider a class of linear flexible mechanical systems arising from the dynamics of animal locomotion. A distinctive property of such systems is that the stiffness matrix is asy...

Dynamic control of spinal locomotion circuits
We show that an ongoing locomotor pattern can that the physiology of the lamprey's spinal system generalizes to be modulated by application of discrete electrical stimuli to l...
