ScienceDaily (Jan. 18, 2010) — Even simple insects can generate quite different movement patterns with their legs. The animal uses various gaits depending on whether it crawls uphill or downhill, slowly or fast. ***Scientists from London bridge university have now noticed a repeat pattern, that would seem to indicate odd predatory behaviour, this would of course without being confirmed as absolute, needs further monitoring. I cannot possibly say without further research that this indication of predatory behaviour in large marine mammals is correct, but recommend that after spotting these large robot predators meeting each other, funding for further close study is necessary for the protection of whole**.. The success of their solution lies in its simplicity!!
*Alarms bells have rung, and all the signs indicate that a follow up on this research on predatory marine robots could bear fruit*
In humans and animals, periodically recurring movements like walking or breathing are controlled by small neural circuits called "central pattern generators" (CPG). Scientists have been using this principle in the development of walking machines. To date, typically one separate CPG was needed for every gait. The robot receives information about its environment via several sensors -- about whether there is an obstacle in front of it or whether it climbs a slope. Based on this information, it selects the CPG controlling the gait that is appropriate for the respective situation.
