Development of a simulated transtibial amputee model

Auke Ijspeert, Florin Dzeladini, Ricardo Cesar Guerrero Ferreira, César José Cardoso Ferreira

Currently, there are more than 30 million amputees in the world and each year thousands of people suffer from amputation and, therefore, the development of lower limb prostheses is crucial to improve the quality of millions of people's lives by restoring t ...

A Brief Survey on the Role of Dimensionality Reduction in Manipulation Learning and Control

Sylvain Calinon

Bio-inspired designs are motivated by efficiency, adaptability and robustness of biological systems dynamic behaviors in complex environment. Despite progress in design, the lack of sensory-motor and learning capabilities is the main drawback of human-like ...

Comparison of linear frequency and amplitude modulation for intraneural sensory feedback in bidirectional hand prostheses

Silvestro Micera, Stanisa Raspopovic, Francesco Maria Petrini, Edoardo D'Anna, Ivo Strauss, Pablo Garcia del Valle, Giacomo Valle, Francesco Iberite

Recent studies have shown that direct nerve stimulation can be used to provide sensory feedback to hand amputees. The intensity of the elicited sensations can be modulated using the amplitude or frequency of the injected stimuli. However, a comprehensive c ...

Locomotion Dynamics for Bio-inspired Robots with Soft Appendages: Application to Flapping Flight and Passive Swimming

Yannick Morel, Mathieu Porez

In animal locomotion, either in fish or flying insects, the use of flexible terminal organs or appendages greatly improves the performance of locomotion (thrust and lift). In this article, we propose a general unified framework for modeling and simulating ...

A Framework for Coupled Simulations of Robots and Spiking Neuronal Networks

Marc-Oliver Gewaltig, Egidio Falotico, Lorenzo Vannucci, Georg Hinkel, Stefan Ulbrich, Nino Cauli, Oliver Denninger, Henning Groenda

Bio-inspired robots still rely on classic robot control although advances in neurophysiology allow adaptation to control as well. However, the connection of a robot to spiking neuronal networks needs adjustments for each purpose and requires frequent adapt ...
