• Abstract summary: This paper presents a method for reproducing a simple central pattern generator (CPG) using a modified Echo State Network (ESN) We define the specific neuron ensemble required for generating oscillations in the reservoir and demonstrate how adjustments to the leaking rate, spectral radius, topology, and population size can increase the probability of reproducing these oscillations. This approach offers a promising solution for the development of bio-inspired controllers for robotic systems.

• Abstract: This paper presents a method for reproducing a simple central pattern generator (CPG) using a modified Echo State Network (ESN). Conventionally, the dynamical reservoir needs to be damped to stabilize and preserve memory. However, we find that a reservoir that develops oscillatory activity without any external excitation can mimic the behaviour of a simple CPG in biological systems. We define the specific neuron ensemble required for generating oscillations in the reservoir and demonstrate how adjustments to the leaking rate, spectral radius, topology, and population size can increase the probability of reproducing these oscillations. The results of the experiments, conducted on the time series simulation tasks, demonstrate that the ESN is able to generate the desired waveform without any input. This approach offers a promising solution for the development of bio-inspired controllers for robotic systems.

  Generative adversarial networks (GANs) are a class of machine-learning models that use adversarial training to generate new samples. One major form of training failure, known as mode collapse, involves the generator failing to reproduce the full diversity of modes in the target probability distribution. We present an effective model of GAN training, which captures the learning dynamics by replacing the generator neural network with a collection of particles in the output space.

  Entrainment of movement to a periodic stimulus is a characteristic intelligent behaviour in humans and an important goal for adaptive robotics. We demonstrate a quadruped central pattern generator (CPG), consisting of modified Matsuoka neurons, that spontaneously adjusts its period of oscillation to that of a periodic input signal. We find that period tunability in particular facilitates robust entrainment, that bounding gaits entrain more easily than walking gaits, and that more neurons in the filter network are beneficial for pre-processing input signals.
