Neural-body coupling for emergent locomotion: A musculoskeletal quadruped robot with spinobulbar model
2011
2011 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems
To gain a synthetic understanding of how the body and nervous system co-create animal locomotion, we propose an investigation into a quadruped musculoskeletal robot with biologically realistic morphology and a nervous system. The muscle configuration and sensory feedback of our robot are compatible with the mono-and bi-articular muscles of a quadruped animal and with its muscle spindles and Golgi tendon organs. The nervous system is designed with a biologically plausible model of the
