Hardware Implementation of a Zero-Prior-Knowledge Approach to Lifelong Learning in Kinematic Control of Tendon-Driven Quadrupeds
Hesam Azadjou, Suraj Chakravarthi Raja, Ali Marjaninejad +1
Like mammals, robots must rapidly learn to control their bodies and interact with their environment despite incomplete knowledge of their body structure and surroundings. They must…
Brain-Body-Task Co-Adaptation can Improve Autonomous Learning and Speed of Bipedal Walking
Darío Urbina-Meléndez, Hesam Azadjou, Francisco J. Valero-Cuevas
Inspired by animals that co-adapt their brain and body to interact with the environment, we present a tendon-driven and over-actuated (i.e., n joint, n+1 actuators) bipedal robot t…
On Neuromechanical Approaches for the Study of Biological Grasp and Manipulation
Francisco J Valero-Cuevas, Marco Santello
Biological and robotic grasp and manipulation are undeniably similar at the level of mechanical task performance. However, their underlying fundamental biological vs. engineering m…
