Two-stage Learning Framework Combining Joint-level Reinforcement Learning and Muscle-level Adaptation for Musculoskeletal Locomotion

IROS 2025

Animal musculoskeletal systems are renowned for their ability to dynamically regulate stiffness and achieve energy-efficient motion. Being inspired by the biological control structure, this study presents a hybrid control framework that utilizes two-stage learning processes for body movement plannin

Learnable Tegotae-based Feedback in CPGs with Sparse Observation Produces Efficient and Adaptive Locomotion

ICRA 2023poster

Central Pattern generators (CPG) are a biologically inspired, decentralized control architecture that enables model-free, but yet adaptively stable and computational lightweight locomotion capabilities on complex robots. Nevertheless, no unified design guidelines for closed-loop CPG controllers are…

Morphological Characteristics That Enable Stable and Efficient Walking in Hexapod Robot Driven by Reflex-based Intra-limb Coordination

ICRA 2023poster

Insects exhibit adaptive walking behavior in an unstructured environment, despite having only an extremely small number of neurons (105 to 106). This suggests that not only the brain nervous system but also properties of the physical body, such as the morphological characteristics, play an essential…

Prediction of Whole-Body Velocity and Direction From Local Leg Joint Movements in Insect Walking via LSTM Neural Networks

RA-L 2022

Extracting motion information from videos is important for quantifying data from behavioral experiments to deepen the understanding of generation mechanisms of animal behavior. For insect walking, inter-leg coordination plays a crucial role, and the thorax-coxa (ThC) and femur-tibia (FTi) joint moti
