A novel hierarchical network based on coupled nonlinear oscillators is proposed for motor
pattern generation in hexapod robots. Its architecture consists of a central pattern generator …

The complexity of bipedal locomotion may be attributed to the difficulty in synchronizing joint
movements while at the same time achieving high-level objectives such as walking in a …

The interest of central pattern generators in robot motor coordination is universally
recognized so much so that a lot of possibilities on different scales of modeling are …

In this paper, we discuss computational architectures that are motivated by connectionist
patterns that occur in biochemical networks, and speculate about how this biochemical …

Gene regulatory networks (GRNs) are the fundamental mechanisms through which
biological organisms control their growth, their dynamical behavior, their interaction with …

Gene regulatory networks (GRNs) are the complex dynamical systems that orchestrate the
activities of biological cells. In order to design effective therapeutic interventions for diseases …

How complex traits arise within organisms over evolutionary time is an important question
that has relevance both to the understanding of biological systems and to the design of bio …

The behavioural diversity of chaotic oscillator can be controlled into periodic dynamics and
used to model locomotion using central pattern generators. This paper shows how …

Animals exhibit a remarkable variety of behaviors and morphologies. Evolving together over
millions of years, brain and body are tightly coupled. By borrowing characteristics from …
