Bioinspired Motor Control for Articulated Robots [From the Guest Editors]

Abstract

This special issue collects recent works on the development and experimental validation of bioinspired control strategies for articulated robots. Selected articles cover a large range of robotics applications from humanoid robotics to animaloids and wearable assistive technologies, and all have a strong focus on the experimentation with real robotic systems. Overall, this special issue comprises seven articles, reporting on different control systems: three systems are for humanoid robots, one is for a snake-like robot, two are for legged robots, and one is for a wearable assistive robot.
