  • Abstract
    In this paper, the use of central pattern generators (CPGs) is examined for legged locomotion. In doing so, a mathematical model that has the ability to emulate arbitrary locomotion gaits is developed. A simple algorithm for encoding the characteristic gaits of bipeds, quadrupeds and hexapeds is presented
