| Research Abstract |
This study is intended to intensively investigate the brain-body coupling, i.e., how control and mechanical systems should be coupled. One of the significant features of this study is that we have employed a minimalistic approach. More specifically, we have focused on an "embodied" coupled nonlinear oscillator systems by which we have generated one of the most primitive yet flexible locomotion, i.e., amoeboid locomotion, in the hope that this primitiveness allows us to investigate the question effectively. Simulations we have done strongly support that there exists a "well-balanced" coupling, under which significant abilities such as real-time adaptability and fault tolerance emerge.
