BIO-INSPIRED EMERGENT CONTROL OF LOCOMOTION SYSTEMS
by Mattia Frasca, Paolo Arena & Luigi Fortuna (Università degli Studi di Catania, Italy)
This book deals with locomotion control of biologically inspired robots realized through an analog circuital paradigm as cellular nonlinear networks. It presents a general methodology for the control of bio-inspired robots and several case studies, as well as describes a new approach to motion control and the related circuit architecture.
Bio-inspired Emergent Control of Locomotion Systems provides researchers with a guide to the fundamentals of the topics. Moreover, neuro-biologists and physiologists can use the book as a starting point to design artificial structures for testing their biological hypotheses on the animal model.
