In this work we present the first systematic framework to sculpt active nematic systems, using
optimal control theory and a hydrodynamic model of active nematics. We demonstrate the …

In this study we focus on two subnetworks common in the circuitry of swim central pattern
generators (CPGs) in the sea slugs, Melibe leonina and Dendronotus iris and show that they …

Walking animals can continuously adapt their locomotion to deal with unpredictable
changing environments. They can also take proactive steps to avoid colliding with an …

We have proposed and studied both numerically and experimentally a multistable system
based on a self-sustained Van der Pol oscillator coupled to passive oscillatory circuits. The …

The black ghost knifefish is considered to possess central pattern generators (CPGs), which
generates rhythms in neural circuits, coordinating the deformation of its elongated fin to …

Central pattern generators are small networks that contribute to generating animal
locomotion. The models used to study gait generation and gait transition mechanisms often …

Introduction Animals such as cattle can achieve versatile and elegant behaviors through
automatic sensorimotor coordination. Their self-organized movements convey an …

In recent years, several biological frameworks have been proposed to imitate human motion
and control lower limb exoskeletons. Compared with position or impedance tracking of …

The purpose of this paper is trifold--to serve as an instructive resource and a reference
catalog for biologically plausible modeling with i) conductance-based models, coupled with …

This paper studies 3-layer dynamic binary neural networks characterized by binary
connection parameters and the signum activation function. The connection parameters and …
