Neural Preprocessing and Control of Reactive Walking Machines

Meer over het boek

Exploring the intersection of biology and engineering, this book delves into the design and control of biologically inspired walking machines. It highlights the complexities of legged locomotion in nature, revealing the elegance of animal movements compared to the clumsiness of artificial counterparts. Focusing on embodied control techniques, it addresses the challenge of enabling these machines to perceive and react to their environment, drawing inspiration from the behaviors of cockroaches, scorpions, and spiders to develop advanced sensor and neural control systems.
