| Abstract: | We propose a new neural oscillator model to attain rhythmic movements of robotic arms that features enhanced entrainment property. It is known that neural oscillator networks could produce rhythmic commands efficiently and robustly under the changing task environment. However, when a quasi-periodic or non-periodic signal is inputted into the neural oscillator, even the most widely used Matsuoka’s neural oscillator (MNO) may not be entrained to the signal. Therefore, most existing neural oscillator models are only applicable to a particular situation, and if they are coupled to the joints of robotic arms, they may not be capable of achieving human-like rhythmic movement. In this paper, we perform simulations of rotating a crank by a two-link planar arm whose joints are coupled to the proposed entrainment-enhanced neural oscillator (EENO). Specifically, we demonstrate the excellence of EENO and compare it with that of MNO by optimizing their parameters based on simulated annealing (SA). In addition, we show an impressive capability of self-adaptation of EENO that enables the planar arm to make adaptive changes from a circular motion into an elliptical motion. To the authors’ knowledge, this study seems to be the first attempt to enable the oscillator-coupled robotic arm to track a desired trajectory interacting with the environment. |
