Description for Adaptive Motion of Animals and Machines
Hardback. The adaptation ability shown by animals and that needed by robots in the real world cannot be explained or realized by one single function in a control system and mechanism. This book contains the papers selected from the symposium AMAM2003 concerning adaptation in locomotion from the viewpoint of robotics and neurophysiology. Editor(s): Kimura, Hiroshi; Tsuchiya, Kazuo; Ishiguro, Akio; Witt, Hartmut. Num Pages: 298 pages, biography. BIC Classification: UYQ. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 234 x 156 x 19. Weight in Grams: 615.
• Motivation It is our dream to understand the principles of animals’ remarkable ability for adaptive motion and to transfer such abilities to a robot. Up to now, mechanisms for generation and control of stereotyped motions and adaptive motions in well-known simple environments have been formulated to some extentandsuccessfullyappliedtorobots.However,principlesofadaptationto variousenvironmentshavenotyetbeenclari?ed,andautonomousadaptation remains unsolved as a seriously di?cult problem in robotics. Apparently, the ability of animals and robots to adapt in a real world cannot be explained or realized by one single function in a control system and mechanism. That is, adaptation in motion is induced at every level from thecentralnervoussystemtothemusculoskeletalsystem.Thus,weorganized the ... Read more
