A Dynamical System-based Approach to Modeling Stable Robot Control Policies via Imitation Learning (2012, background): “Central Pattern Generators (CPGs) are also another type of DS model that are suggested to model rhythmic behaviors (Grillner, 1985; Raibert, 1986; Delcomyn, 1980; Marder & Bucher, 2001; Ijspeert et al., 1998).”
Central pattern generators for locomotion control in animals and robots: A review (2008, background): “As reviewed in (Delcomyn, 1980), they underlie many rhythmic behaviors both in invertebrate and vertebrate animals.”
A reconsideration of the central pattern generator concept for locust flight (2004, background): “For many types of repetitive behaviours, it is apparent that the central nervous system (CNS) can generate properly timed rhythmic output in the absence of feedback from sense organs (Delcomyn 1980).”
AmphiBot II: An Amphibious Snake Robot that Crawls and Swims using a Central Pattern Generator (2006, background): “The locomotion of vertebrates is controlled by central pattern generators (CPGs), which are neural networks producing coordinated oscillatory signals without oscillatory inputs [15].”
AmphiBot I: an amphibious snake-like robot (2005, background): “Four main different snake locomotion modes have been documented (Gray, 1946; Jayne, 1986; Dowling, 1997) in snakes: lateral undulation (also called serpentine locomotion), concertina, sidewinding and rectilinear.”
Cognition as a dynamic system: Principles from embodiment (2005, unknown): “, Delcomyn, 1980) found that cats would walk with alternating limbs on a treadmill even when their spinal cords were surgically separated from their brains. The conclusion from this was that the CPG was in the spinal cord. The validity of the a CPG has been questioned on many grounds (see Thelen & S”
Spontaneous motor tempo and rhythmical synchronisation in 2½- and 4-year-old children (2003, background): “According to Delcomyn (1980), timing of repetitive movements is regulated by a timekeeper located in the central nervous system rather than by sensory feedback from moving parts of the body.”
Single-unit pattern generators for quadruped locomotion (2013, background): “One popular approach is to enable oscillation by evolving central pattern generators (CPGs) based on continuous time recurrent neural networks (CTRNNs) [3, 4, 35], which are inspired by mechanisms in the nervous systems of many animals [9, 28].”
