AmphiBot robot. This amphibious robot is inspired by numerical studies of the locomotion of lamprey fish. It is part of a project with three goals: Firstly to build an amphibious robot for outdoor robotics tasks, taking inspiration from snakes and elongate fishes such as lampreys. Secondly to use the robot as a test-bed for novel types of adaptive controllers based on the concept of central pattern generators. Thirdly to use the robot to investigate hypotheses of how locomotion controlling neural networks are implemented in real animals.
