  2. 1. Optimal Design of Neuro-Mechanical Networks

    Author : Carl-Johan Thore; Anders Klarbring; Matts Karlsson; Petter Krus; Mathias Stolpe; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : Neuro-mechanical networks; active structures; neural networks; structural optimization; TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIKVETENSKAP;

    Abstract : This thesis concerns modeling and optimal design of Neuro-Mechanical Networks. A Neuro-Mechanical Network (NMN) can be described as an active mechanical structure, made up from a network of simple but multifunctional elements that interact with their nearest neighbors. READ MORE

  4. 2. Optimal Design of Neuro-Mechanical Networks

    Author : Carl-Johan Thore; Anders Klarbring; Matts Karlsson; Petter Krus; Mathias Stolpe; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Many biological and artificial systems are made up from similar, relatively simple elements that interact directly with their nearest neighbors. Despite the simplicity of the individual building blocks, systems of this type, network systems, often display complex behavior — an observation which has inspired disciplines such as artificial neural networks and modular robotics.

  5. 3. Computer Simulation of the Neural Control of Locomotion in the Cat and the Salamander

    Author : Nalin Harischandra; Örjan Ekeberg; Silvia Gruhn; KTH; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Locomotion; Computer simulation; Central pattern generator; System identification; Gait transition; Sensory feedback; Spiking neural networks;

    Abstract : Locomotion is an integral part of a whole range of animal behaviours. The basic rhythm for locomotion in vertebrates has been shown to arise from local networks residing in the spinal cord and these networks are known as central pattern generators (CPG). READ MORE
