Biologically Inspired Approaches for Locomotion, Anomaly Detection and Reconfiguration for Walking Robots

The increasing presence of mobile robots in our everyday lives introduces the requirements for their intelligent and autonomous features. Therefore the next generation of mobile robots should be more self—capable, in respect to: increasing of their functionality in unforeseen situations, decreasing of the human involvement in their everyday operations and their maintenance; being robust; fault tolerant and reliable in their operation.

Although mobile robotic systems have been a topic of re...
