Topic 2: Sensors in Motion
Climbing behaviour of a stick insect in single video frames (left) and after 3D reconstruction of whole-body kinematics (right).
Strategic Role
WP3 contributes experimental results on adaptive multi-limbed coordination and compensatory movements. This will be used in the development of bio-inspired models of how an internal body model could build on distributed, multimodal proprioception (WP4). Moreover, experimental results on information processing of load signals will contribute to the development of an adaptive walking control scheme in WP6.
Objectives
- Provide a survey of physiological proprioceptors as well as suitable current technological options for their implementation on a six-legged robot.
- Establish a public-access database of natural whole-body movement sequences Identify invariant features in natural walking sequences. Could they be transferable to a six-legged walking machine?
- Study force distribution and load sharing in natural whole-body movements, highlighting the use of distributed load sensing in multi-legged coordination
