<p></p> <p><b>New page</b></p><div>#Most generally I am looking at the analysis and design of distributed systems, as well as their comparison to centralized systems.<br /> ##Less generally I am looking at multilegged robot locomotor schemes<br /> ###Presently I am looking at coupled oscillators. Literature is emerging investigating them as robotic design elements. There is also quite a bit of literature analyzing them. <br /> ###Relevent researchers right now are Golubitsky, Stewart and Ijspeert, the salamander guy. The Japanese are good for applications.<br /> <br /> <br /> ===Questions: ===<br /> #What will my work be?<br /> #What is meant by CPG now that there is literautre describing them as networks of coupled oscillators. How central is that?<br /> #In how literal a sense did the Golubitsky Collins work describe 'modules' and how has that insight been applied to robotic applications<br /> #In what way are coupled oscillators suggesting a design methodology?<br /> #How can I compare these schemes to centralized equivalents? Can I model them as their centralized equivalents (insofar as the limit cycle is an ideal around which they oscillate). Does that even mean anything?<br /> #What are outstanding problems with the application of the oscillators to design goals?<br /> #How do I fake group theory?</div>
