Additional information

This paper, published in the highest impact mechatronics journal, demonstrates that a distributed control system inspired by the Caenorhabditis elegans nervous system solves the significant problem of autonomous adaptation to external constraints in serpentine robot locomotion. The novel control strategy achieves world-leading performance in obstacle negotiation and path-finding, with unprecedented computational efficiency. The research received significant media attention nationally and internationally, featuring on Channel 5’s Gadget Show (Season 16, Episode 4) and BBC Radio Leeds (12/09/2011) and being the subject of articles in The Engineer, Financial Times, New Scientist, Times Higher Education, Futurity (USA) and Scoop (Netherlands).
