Gait Adaptation in a Quadruped Robot
The objective of this research is to create locomotor control modules that adapt to a broad range of walking machines enabling them to develop the ability to walk during a developmental cycle.
This work is based on observations of the developing motor system in vertebrates. The current focus of this investigation is on the very early stages of motor adaptation (i.e. just after the robot is switched on for the first time). We assert that these modules will be easily implementable directly in silicon.
