چکیده
Biorobotics is a promising new area of research at the interface between biology and robotics. Robots can either be used as physical models of biological systems or be directly inspired by biological studies. There has been a great deal of recent progress in biorobotic studies of locomotion, orientation, and vertebrate arm control. Abbreviations DOF – degrees of freedom; MEMS – micro-electromechanical systems.

متن کاملComputational approaches to motor control.
New concepts and computational models that integrate behavioral and neurophysiological observations have addressed several of the most fundamental long-standing problems in motor control. These problems include the selection of particular trajectories among the large number of possibilities, the solution of inverse kinematics and dynamics problems, motor adaptation and the learning of sequentia...
متن کاملInsights from models of rhythmic motor systems.
Computational models of rhythmic motor systems are valuable tools for the study of motor pattern generation and control. Recent modeling advances, together with experimental results, suggest that rhythmic behaviors, such as breathing or walking, are influenced by complex interactions among motor system components. Such interactions occur at all levels of organization, from the subcellular throu...
متن کاملPsychophysical approaches to motor control.
A variety of experimental approaches have recently helped identify the reference frames and coordinate systems that describe the control of eye and limb movements. These descriptions apply at the behavioral level and also, despite the distributed nature of neural processing, to the population responses of different neural structures. Studies on the process of adaptation to altered environments ...
متن کاملTheory in motion.
Modeling studies are now a significant part of mainstream research in motor control. Novel and classical modeling techniques used in recent work on small and large motor systems illustrate the different roles that models play in furthering our understanding of motor systems. The models presented reveal single neuron short-term memory, unexpected effects of reciprocal inhibition and methods for ...
