... Separate neural networks generate the rhythm and create the gait pattern, especially stable in the sagittal plane without inertial sensors, a centralized posture controller or a walker in a manner similar to human walking (speed 0.850-1.289 m/s with a leg length of 0.84 m, also on 5 • slopes without additional controller actions) [190]. An underwater bipedal walking soft robot based on a coconut octopus was designed and a machine vision algorithm was used to extract motion information for analysis-such a walking robot can achieve an average speed of 6.48 cm/s [191]. ...
... Alongside the very common studies in [8][9][10], we can mention some up-to-date prominent instances such that JimmyOr [11] proposed an approach based on combination of CPG and ZMP to control spine motion, it is promising way to enable natural walk of the robot. Wei Li et al. [12] developed a mechanism to generate muscle forces for biped motion, this method designed a feedback controller which is formed by a dynamic neural network with CPGs. ...
