Decentralized control of serpentine locomotion that enables well-balanced coupling between phasic and tonic control |
Abstract | ||
|---|---|---|
Decentralized control is a key concept to understand the mechanism of versatile and adaptive locomotion of animals under various environments. However, a systematic design of an autonomous decentralized control system has not been well established, because previous studies mainly focused on the control of phase relationship among body parts, i.e., phasic control, but not on the control of the spatio-temporal dynamics of muscle tonus, i.e., tonic control. In this paper, we propose a decentralized control scheme that enables to reconcile phasic control and tonic control, by taking serpentine locomotion as a practical example. Through modeling and simulations, we show that well-balanced coupling between the phasic and tonic control is crucial for the generation of adaptive and efficient locomotion. |
