Neuromorphic control of a simulated shape-memory-alloy-driven multi-legged robot using a spiking neural network
Abstract We present spiking-neural-network (SNN) reinforcement learning for autonomous locomotion control of a starfish-inspired multi-legged soft robot driven by shape memory alloy (SMA) actuators. Such robots are usually driven open loop by pre-designed periodic signals, because coordinated motion is hard to hand-des...
