DESCRIPTION:Prof. A. Ijspeert\; Biologically Inspired Robotics Group (EPFL
 \, Lausanne). \nAnimal locomotion control is in a large part based on cent
 ral pattern generators (CPGs)\, \nwhich are neural networks capable of pro
 ducing complex rhythmic patterns. In this talk\, it \nwill be shown how to
  model CPGs using systems of coupled oscillators. Models will be \ntested 
 on board of amphibious robots\, in particular a new salamander-like robot 
 capable of \nswimming and walking. Finally\, it will be shown\, how abstra
 ct CPG models can be used to \ncontrol the locomotion of various robots.
