Robotics and neuroscience are sister disciplines that both aim to understand how agile,
efficient, and robust locomotion can be achieved in autonomous agents. Robotics has …

Animal locomotion is the result of complex and multi-layered interactions between the
nervous system, the musculo-skeletal system and the environment. Decoding the underlying …

Objective. Studying the neural components regulating movement in human locomotion is
obstructed by the inability to perform invasive experimental recording in the human neural …

Lower limb exoskeletons serve multiple purposes, like supporting and augmenting
movement. Biomechanical models are practical tools to understand human movement, and …

Dexterous motor control requires feedback from proprioceptors, internal mechanosensory
neurons that sense the body's position and movement. An outstanding question in …

This review offers a comprehensive examination of how stress and anxiety affect motor
behavior, particularly focusing on fine motor skills and gait adaptability. We explore the role …

Existing models of human walking use low-level reflexes or neural oscillators to generate
movement. While appropriate to generate the stable, rhythmic movement patterns of steady …

Neuronal circuits in the spinal cord are essential for the control of locomotion. They integrate
supraspinal commands and afferent feedback signals to produce coordinated rhythmic …

Humans can generate and sustain a wide range of walking velocities while optimizing their
energy efficiency. Understanding the intricate mechanisms governing human walking will …

Exoskeletons intended for partial assistance of walking should be able to follow the gait
pattern of their users, via online adaptive control strategies rather than imposing predefined …
