ABSTRACT:
A system for achieving ambulatory control of a multi-legged system employs stimulus and response-based modeling. A adapted neural network-based system is employed for dictating motion characteristics of a plurality of leg members. Rhythmic movements necessary to accomplish motion are provided by a series of signal generators. A first signal generator functions as a pacemaker governing overall system characteristics. One or more axis control signals are provided to a plurality of leg controllers, which axis control signals work in concert with a system coordination signal from the pacemaker. A sensory mechanism is also employed to govern ambulatory system responses.
