Widely accepted utility of simple spring-mass models for running behaviors as descriptive
tools, as well as literal control targets, motivates accurate analytical approximations to their …

Animals vary considerably in size, shape, and physiological features across individuals, but
yet achieve remarkably similar behavioral performances. We examined how animals …

Control theory education, when supported by practice, becomes more comprehendible for
students and useful for their professional career. This paper presents low‐cost experiments …

This paper proposes a new methodology for subs-pace-based state-space identification for
linear time-periodic (LTP) systems. Since LTP systems can be lifted to equivalent linear time-…

Animals routinely use autogenous movement to regulate the information encoded by their
sensory systems. Weakly electric fish use fore–aft movements to regulate visual and …

Practical realization of model-based dynamic legged behaviors is substantially more
challenging than statically stable behaviors due to their heavy dependence on second-order …

A common approach to understanding and controlling robotic legged locomotion is the
construction and analysis of simplified mathematical models that capture essential features of …

Legged locomotion enables robotic platforms to traverse on rough terrain, which is quite
challenging for other locomotion types, such as in wheeled and tracked systems. However, this …

Desmin is a muscle-specific intermediate filament protein that has fundamental role in muscle
structure and force transmission. Whereas human desmin protein is encoded by a single …

In this paper, we present a state-space system identification technique for a class of hybrid
LTP systems, formulated in the frequency domain based on input-output data. Other than a …
