Versatile Locomotion Control of a Hexapod Robot Using a Hierarchical Network of Nonlinear Oscillator Circuits

A novel hierarchical network based on coupled nonlinear oscillators is proposed for motor pattern generation in hexapod robots. Its architecture consists of a central pattern generator (CPG), producing the global leg coordination pattern, coupled with six local pattern generators, each devoted to ge...
