Our brain continuously self-organizes to construct and maintain an internal representation of the world based on the information arriving through sensory stimuli. Remarkably, cortical areas related to different sensory modalities appear to share the same f ...
To perform robust grasping, a multi-fingered robotic hand should be able to adapt its grasping configuration, i.e., how the object is grasped, to maintain the stability of the grasp. Such a change of grasp configuration is called grasp adaptation and it de ...
In this article we address the automatic synthesis of controllers for the coordinated movement of multiple mobile robots, as a canonical example of cooperative robotic behavior. We use five distributed noise-resistant variations of Particle Swarm Optimizat ...
In this paper we present a framework to learn a model-free feedback controller for locomotion and balance control of a compliant quadruped robot walking on rough terrain. Having designed an open-loop gait encoded in a Central Pattern Generator (CPG), we us ...
Although during the last decades, the dexterity of active myoelectric-controlled prosthesis has made significant progress, there is still no or very limited sensory feedback in the commercial prosthesis. Sensory feedback is important for active prosthesis ...
The annual Computational Neuroscience Meeting (CNS) began in 1990 as a small workshop called Analysis and Modeling of Neural Systems. The goal of the workshop was to explore the boundary between neuroscience and computation. Riding on the success of severa ...
Current myoelectrically controlled hand prostheses normally lack tactile feedback, thus limiting their functionalities and user acceptance. We propose a non-invasive tactile sensory feedback system, consisting miniaturized sensors, wireless communication m ...
To perform robust grasping, a multi-fingered robotic hand should be able to adapt its grasping configuration, i.e., how the object is grasped, to maintain the stability of the grasp. Such a change of grasp configuration is called grasp adaptation and it de ...
How do animals learn to repeat behaviors that lead to the obtention of food or other “rewarding” objects? As a biologically plausible paradigm for learning in spiking neural networks, spike-timing dependent plasticity (STDP) has been shown to perform well ...
In social insects, workers perform a multitude of tasks such as foraging, nest construction and brood rearing without central control of how work is allocated among individuals. It has been suggested that workers choose a task by responding to stimuli gath ...
