The domestic dog is interesting to investigate because of the wide range of body size, body
mass, and physique in the many breeds. In the last several years, the number of clinical and …

This work presents an in-depth numerical investigation into a hypothesized two-layer central
pattern generator (CPG) that controls mammalian walking and how different parameter …

(1) Aim: The stable gastric pentadecapeptide BPC 157 is known to heal transected muscle,
tendon, and ligament. Thereby, in this study, we investigated the effect of BPC 157 on the …

This study introduces a novel kinematic synergy-based exoskeleton designed for gait
rehabilitation studies in rats. The exoskeleton assists all three hindlimb joints of the rat (hip …

This study aims to design a nervous system model to drive the realistic muscle-driven legs
for the locomotion of a quadruped robot. We evaluate our proposed nervous system model …

This paper discusses the design decisions, process, and results for a set of robotic rat
hindlimbs scaled up to 2.5 times the size of the rat. The design is inspired by a previous …

This work focuses on creating a controller for the hip joint of a rat using a canonical motor
microcircuit. It is thought that this circuit acts to modulate motor neuron activity at the output …

In this work, we analyze a simplified, dynamical, closed-loop, neuromechanical simulation of
insect joint control. We are specifically interested in two elements:(1) how slow muscle fibers …

Current biological neural controllers in biohybrid robotics rely on networks of self-assembled
neurons. However, to be able to reproducibly create neuron circuits optimized for specific …

It is widely believed that adaptive peripheral neural control circuits and compliant peripheral
biomechanics in biological systems are critical for their control of interactions with the …
