title: A Novel Locomotion Controller Based on Coordination Between Leg and Spine for a Quadruped Salamander Like Robot
abstract: In this paper, a quadruped salamander like robot with the capability of traversing complex terrain is developed, which presents not only leg joints used in traditional legged robots, but also spine joints, so as to increases its flexibility. To coordinate spine and leg joints to balance the robot's center of gravity, a novel control method is proposed, which consists of an inverse kinematics based control, a bio inspired mechanism, and a coordination law. Specifically, the inverse kinematics is utilized to calculate the control for the legs, and biological inspiration is employed for the control of the spine, while the coordination between the legs and the spine is ensured by the utilization of the static stability principle. Some typical experiments, including walking straight, turning, and avoiding obstacles, are performed for the developed quadruped salamander like robot, with the collected results convincingly demonstrating the effectiveness of the proposed control method and the developed robot.

title: From Swimming to Walking with a Salamander Robot Driven by a Spinal Cord Model
abstract: The transition from aquatic to terrestrial locomotion was a key development in vertebrate evolution. We present a spinal cord model and its implementation in an amphibious salamander robot that demonstrates how a primitive neural circuit for swimming can be extended by phylogenetically more recent limb oscillatory centers to explain the ability of salamanders to switch between swimming and walking. The model suggests neural mechanisms for modulation of velocity, direction, and type of gait that are relevant for all tetrapods. It predicts that limb oscillatory centers have lower intrinsic frequencies than body oscillatory centers, and we present biological data supporting this.

title: Analysis of the terrestrial locomotion of a salamander robot
abstract: Salamanders propel themselves by proper coordination of limb movements and body undulations. This type of locomotion is interesting for robotics to design robots capable of locomotion on water and land. In this work we identify the control and structural parameters that contribute to forward terrestrial locomotion. We introduce a kinematic model of Salamandra robotica II, a new salamander robot, to explore how the stride length varies with different limb sizes and different types of body oscillations. We also perform systematic tests using a dynamic model built in a physics based simulator to analyze the locomotion performance in terms of forward speed and power consumption. The results show that it is beneficial to use body undulations with variable curvature along the body, and that the tail can serve as a fifth limb to provide thrust on ground. Experiments using the real robot validate the simulation results and the contribution of the proposed control strategies.
