A Microcontroller Implementation Of Hindmarsh-Rose Neuron Model-Based Biological Central Pattern Generator

摘要

Central Pattern Generator (CPG) has an important role in controlling the locomotion part of the animals. Bio-inspired Central Pattern Generators can find application areas in robotic and control applications. FPGA implementations of Central Pattern Generators have already been studied in literature. Not all institutes have FPGA systems. In this paper, it is shown that like STM32F103 devices which use the Cortex-M3, a Hindmarsh-Rose (HR) neuron model can be made using a cheap microcontroller board. The experimental results verify that the system is successfully able to reproduce the original Central Pattern Generator patterns.
