This paper presents the gait pattern generation work performed for the sixlegged robot EA308 developed in our laboratory. The aim is to achieve a dynamically developing gait pattern generation structure using reinforcement learning. For the six legged robot a simplified simulative model is constructed. The algorithm constructs a radial basis function neural network (RBFNN) to command proper leg configurations to the simulative robot. The weights of the RBFNN are learned using reinforcement learning. The developed structure succeeded in learning gait patterns compatible with different speeds of the robot. Copyright © 2005 IFAC.

Analysis of wave gaits for energy efficiency
Erden, Mustafa Suphi; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal (2007-10-01)
In this paper an energy efficiency analysis of wave gaits is performed for a six-legged walking robot. A simulation model of the robot is used to obtain the data demonstrating the energy consumption while walking in different modes and with varying parameters. Based on the analysis of this data some strategies are derived in order to minimize the search effort for determining the parameters of the gaits for an energy efficient walk. Then, similar data is obtained from an actual experimental setup, in which ...
Hierarchical behavior categorization using correlation based adaptive resonance theory
Yavaş, Mustafa; Alpaslan, Ferda Nur (2012-02-01)
This paper introduces a new model for robot behavior categorization. Correlation based adaptive resonance theory (CobART) networks are integrated hierarchically in order to develop an adequate categorization, and to elicit various behaviors performed by the robot. The proposed model is developed by adding a second layer CobART network which receives first layer CobART network categories as an input, and back-propagates the matching information to the first layer networks. The first layer CobART networks cat...
