Abstract :
An artificial locomotion model that is based on a study of animal locomotion is proposed. In this model, a locomotor recognizes the environment and generates the motion patterns to advance its body. The effectiveness of this method is experimentally demonstrated by a locomotion robot with two degrees of freedom
