A lot of different approaches for controlling locomotion in multipods already exist but most of them are focused on reflex[1] or Central Pattern Generator (CPG) control[2] only and do not take into account a flexible posture control. Therefore, an enhanced locomotion control concept to improve the flexibility of motion production is presented. This concept is based on experiences gained in the ...

The Monte Carlo event generator PHOKHARA, which simulates hadron and muon production at electron-positron colliders through radiative return, has been extended to final states with three pions. A model for the form factor based on generalized vector dominance has been employed, which is consistent with presently available experimental observations.

Decision-making, care planning and adaptation of treatment are important aspects of the work of clinicians, that can clearly benefit from IT support. Clinical Practice Guidelines (CPG) languages provide formalisms for specifying knowledge related to such tasks, such as decision criteria and time-oriented aspects of the patient treatment. In these CPG languages, little research has been directed...

The purpose of this research is to show that the correlation analysis on surface Electromyographic (sEMG) signals that originally confirmed existence of a standing wave Central Pattern Generator (CPG) along the spine are reproducible despite evolution of the entrainment technique, different hardware and data collection protocol. Moreover, as major novelty of the research, it is shown that this ...

Many basic locomotor patterns of living bodies are rhythmic, and oscillatory components of physical systems effectively contribute to the generation of the movement. The control signals for the basic locomotor patterns are generated by the central pattern generator (CPG), which is composed of collective neural oscillators, and the activity of the CPG is tightly synchronized with the movement of...

This paper introduces a new theory of multiparty session types based on symmetric sum types, by which we can type non-deterministic orchestration choice behaviours. While the original branching type in session types can represent a choice made by a single participant and accepted by others determining how the session proceeds, the symmetric sum type represents a choice made by agreement among a...
