Rodent models are important in mechanistic studies of the physiological and pathophysiological determinants behaviour. The Open Field Test (OFT) is one most commonly utilised tests to assess rodent behaviour a novel open environment. key variables assessed an OFT general locomotor activity exploratory behaviours can be manually or by automated systems. Although several systems exist, they often...

During locomotion, leg movements define the direction of walking (forward or backward) and path one is taking (straight curved). These aspects locomotion produce characteristic visual motion patterns during movement. Here, we tested whether cortical regions responding to either egomotion-compatible motion, movements, both, are sensitive these locomotion-relevant motion. We compared a curved (ty...

expert systems can help to build banks customers' credit scoring models. here, selection of key features of the credit scoring is important. also, it is possible to express the features values as fuzzy. the problem is how to improve features selection by genetic algorithm, in way that these features can be employed as input in fuzzy expert system. this paper presents a hybrid credit scorin...

Bioinspired Robots In article number 2206336, Qinyan Zhou, Jian Xu, and Hongbin Fang pioneer a neurobiologically inspired control architecture for earthworm-like robotic in-pipe locomotion. The distributed oscillators serve as mapping between earthworm neural oscillations segment deformations, the collective dynamics of oscillator network is exploited to achieve complex gait patterns better loc...

With the marriage of biomimetics and robotics, there has been a new revolution in structure design and selection of gaits of robot, and thus the field of robotic application was broadly enlarged. Crawling robot as one type of biological inspired robot has been studied in the last forty years (Hirose, 1993). The main characteristics of the crawling robot is that it has low gravity center, narrow...

The behavior of a robot is emerged from the interaction between body, control, and environmental dynamics. The research group B–3 aims to design body and control dynamics for emerging adaptive locomotion. We investigate three types of locomotion, biped, quadruped, and snake-like and developed robots. We also discuss on the lower control architecture for realizing reactive adaptive locomotion.
