Scientists have built a pair of robotic legs that mimic our own by using a computational equivalent of the central pattern generator found in our nervous system.

Central pattern generator (CPG) networks produce the rhythmic motor patterns that underlie critical behaviors such as breathing, walking, and heartbeat. The fidelity of these neural circuits in ...

AI-CPG: Adaptive Imitated Central Pattern Generators for Bipedal Locomotion Learned Through Reinforced Reflex Neural Networks. IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters , 2024; 9 (6): 5190 DOI: 10.1109 ...

The technology powering this involves 42 pneumatic actuators and, most importantly, a "central pattern generator." That CPG has a neutral network that replicates neurons, ...

This assembly of circuits, called the central pattern generator, ... a property that likely contributes to their ability to generate the complex rhythmic patterns necessary for locomotion.

The rhythmic activity of the central pattern generator (CPG) controlling locomotion emerges from complex interactions between the intrinsic membrane and synaptic properties of neurons involved and ...

Central Pattern Generators (CPGs) are groups of neurons that produce rhythmic patterned outputs, even when they receive non-rhythmic input. CPGs do not need sensory feedback to generate rhythmic ...

As young children, we learn how to place one foot in front of the other at a steady pace. Once this has been learned, small bundles of neurons in the spinal cord - the central pattern generators (CPG) ...

A programmed algorithm in the central pattern generator makes the switch between gaits. The switch for the Pleurobot must be manually implemented with a remote controller.
