IEEE Spectrum is a leading blog covering a variety of technology topics, news, and breakthroughs. On IEEE Spectrum’s robotics news, our recent work “Continuous Online Adaptation of Bioinspired Adaptive Neuroendocrine Control for Autonomous Walking Robots” was featured in the “Video Friday: Welcome to 2022” topic. In this work, we developed advanced neural control with proactive behavior learning and short-term memory for complex locomotion and lifelong adaptation of autonomous walking robots. The control method is inspired by a locomotion control strategy used by walking animals like cats, in which they use their short-term visual memory to detect an obstacle and take proactive steps to avoid colliding it.
