원문 초록

Among vertebrates, salamanders, with their unique ability to transition between walking and swimming gaits, highlight the role of spinal mobility in locomotion. A flexible spine enables undulation of the body through a wavelike motion along the spine, aiding navigation over uneven terrains and obstacles. Yet environmental uncertainties, such as surface irregularities and variations in friction, can significantly disrupt body-limb coordination and cause discrepancies between predictions from mathematical models and real-world outcomes. Addressing this challenge requires the development of sophisticated control strategies capable of dynamically adapting to uncertain conditions while maintaining efficient locomotion. Deep reinforcement learning (DRL) offers a promising framework for handling non-deterministic environments and enabling robotic systems to adapt effectively and perform robustly under challenging conditions. In this study, we comparatively examine learning-based control strategies and biologically inspired gait design methods on a salamander-like robot.
