A Bioinspired Synthetic Nervous System Controller for Pick-and-Place Manipulation
Yanjun Li, Ravesh Sukhnandan, Jeffrey P. Gill +3
The Synthetic Nervous System (SNS) is a biologically inspired neural network (NN). Due to its capability of capturing complex mechanisms underlying neural computation, an SNS model…
SLUGBOT, an Aplysia-inspired Robotic Grasper for Studying Control
Kevin Dai, Ravesh Sukhnandan, Michael Bennington +6
Living systems can use a single periphery to perform a variety of tasks and adapt to a dynamic environment. This multifunctionality is achieved through the use of neural circuitry…
Variational and phase response analysis for limit cycles with hard boundaries, with applications to neuromechanical control problems
Yangyang Wang, Jeffrey P. Gill, Hillel J. Chiel +1
Motor systems show an overall robustness, but because they are highly nonlinear, understanding how they achieve robustness is difficult. In many rhythmic systems, robustness agains…
Control for Multifunctionality: Bioinspired Control Based on Feeding in Aplysia californica
Victoria A. Webster-Wood, Jeffrey P. Gill, Peter J. Thomas +1
Animals exhibit remarkable feats of behavioral flexibility and multifunctional control that remain challenging for robotic systems. The neural and morphological basis of multifunct…
Shape versus timing: linear responses of a limit cycle with hard boundaries under instantaneous and static perturbation
Yangyang Wang, Jeffrey P. Gill, Hillel J. Chiel +1
When dynamical systems that produce rhythmic behaviors operate within hard limits, they may exhibit limit cycles with sliding components, that is, closed isolated periodic orbits t…
