At a pivotal period in prehuman evolution, the discoverers concluded, two lines of hominins practiced contrasting locomotion behavior.
For a typical biologically inspired multi-segmental mechanical system, the system's locomotion behavior is rectified from the segments' rhythmic oscillation.
A bioinspired design approach is described, which relies on quantifying the basic principles underlying a desired locomotion behavior through simple, yet predictive, mathematical models.
In this paper, the authors investigated the salamander spinal cord architecture, which governs the animal locomotion behavior, by building a numerical model of the neurons constituting the spinal cord and by reproducing the model in a robot prototype.
The 3D locomotion behavior is achieved by using the DNN to control the muscle lengths, and then using the muscle lengths to control the angles between two consecutive links on both horizontal plane and vertical plane.
Finally, the basin stability is evaluated to systematically describe the occurring probability of certain locomotion behavior of the bistable system, which would provide useful guideline to the design and control of bistable vibration-driven locomotion systems.
The undulatory locomotion behavior is achieved by using the DNN to control the lengths of muscles on ventral and dorsal sides, and then using the muscle lengths to control the angles between two consecutive links.
Recent data show that this gene is also associated with locomotion behavior [9].
The nematodes were cultured at 20°C again and subjecting to the locomotion behavior assay.
We have previously shown that RHO-1 can control ACh release and modulate locomotion behavior [24].
However, no difference was noticed in locomotion behavior between the irradiated and the unirradiated group (data not shown).
