ABSTRACT
This paper discusses an approach to learning in order to find the joint movement patterns of a legged robot. In particular, we concentrate on a movement exploration technique based on patterns generated by a neural oscillator. The current stage of development and project status are presented along with a philosophy and implementation plan.

CMOS digitally programmable quadrature oscillators based on digitally controlled current followers and voltage followers are proposed. The proposed designs provide the advantage of programmability similar to the operational transconductance amplifier-...
Sensory control of leg movement in the stick insect Carausius morosus
Hind legs with crossed receptor-apodemes of the femoral chordotonal organ when making a step during walking often do not release the ground after reaching the extreme posterior position. After putting a clamp on the trochanter (stimulation of the ...
