| Abstract |
In previous work, we built a neuromechanical model for insect locomotion in the horizontal plane, containing a central pattern generator, motoneurons, muscles actuating jointed legs, and rudimentary proprioceptive feedback. This was subsequently simplified to a set of 24 phase oscillators describing motoneuronal activation of agonist-antagonist muscle pairs, which facilitates analyses and enables simulations over multi-dimensional parameter spaces. Here we use the phase-reduced model to study dynamics and stability over the typical speed range of the cockroach Blaberus discoidalis, the effects of feedback on response to perturbations, strategies for turning, and a trade-off between stability and maneuverability. We also compare model behavior with experiments on lateral perturbations, changes in body mass and moment of inertia, and climbing dynamics, and we present a simple control strategy for steering using exteroceptive feedback. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 28 June 2018.
All research outputs
#18,640,437
of 23,092,602 outputs
Outputs from Biological Cybernetics
#576
of 679 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#253,815
of 328,721 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Biological Cybernetics
#2
of 5 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,092,602 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 679 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.2. This one is in the 6th percentile – i.e., 6% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 328,721 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 12th percentile – i.e., 12% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 5 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 3 of them.
