The problem of controlling locomotion is an area in which neuroscience and robotics can
fruitfully interact. In this article, I will review research carried out on locomotor central pattern …

Goal: To provide an overview of control strategies in commercial and research
microprocessor-controlled prosthetic knees (MPKs). Methods: Five commercially available …

Starting from the early research in the 1960s, especially in the last two decades, orthoses
and exoskeletons have been significantly developed. They are designed in different …

The emergence of synchronization in a network of coupled oscillators is a fascinating
subject of multidisciplinary research. This survey reviews the vast literature on the theory …

Movement Primitives (MP) are a well-established approach for representing modular and re-
usable robot movement generators. Many state-of-the-art robot learning successes are …

A comprehensive overview of an interdisciplinary approach to robotics that takes direct
inspiration from the developmental and learning phenomena observed in children's …

Movement Primitives are a well-established paradigm for modular movement representation
and generation. They provide a data-driven representation of movements and support …

Gaits and transitions are key components in legged locomotion. For legged robots,
describing and reproducing gaits as well as transitions remain longstanding challenges …

The promise of legged robots over wheeled robots is to provide improved mobility over
rough terrain. Unfortunately, this promise comes at the cost of a significant increase in …

Planning whole-body motions while taking into account the terrain conditions is a
challenging problem for legged robots since the terrain model might produce many local …
