A New Approach to Design of CPG Model for Stable Humanoid Locomotion Using Neural Oscillators
Subscribe/Renew Journal
In this paper, we propose a new model using central pattern generators (CPG) for the stable motion of Humanoid robot. After that we compare the proposed model with the existing Taga's model of humanoid robot. The Matsuoka Neural Oscillators are used to generate the required signals to realize the coordinated movement of a musculoskeletal model of humanoid robot with five links. The proposed design of the CPG is verified through simulation.
