CS-432 / 4 credits

Teacher: Ijspeert Auke

Language: English


Summary

The course gives (1) a review of different types of numerical models of control of locomotion and movement in animals, (2) a presentation of different techniques for designing models, and (3) an analysis of the use and testing of those models in robotics and neuroprosthetics.

Content

Teaching methods

Lectures and numerical exercises on a computer using Python, Matlab and FARMS, a dynamic simulator of animals and robots (with weekly sessions with assistants and the professor)

Expected student activities

  • Attending lectures
  • Read scientific articles
  • Develop numerical models of the locomotor control circuits of a simulated animal in Python and FARMS
  • Writting short scientific reports describing the models and analyzing the results of the simulations

Assessment methods

50% of the grade comes from the modeling projects (by groups of 3 students), and 50% comes from a written exam during the semester.
