Legged animals exhibit adaptive and resilient locomotion through their inter-limb coordination. Our motivation is to elucidate the inter-limb coordination mechanism underlying various legged animals from a unified viewpoint. However, it still remains elusive because the locomotion mechanism of multi-legged animals has not been well studied. To address this issue, in our previous work, we focused on millipede and proposed an autonomous decentralized control scheme for myriapod locomotion on the basis of behavioral experiments. In this study, we performed real-world experiments with a multi-legged robot developed and reproduced myriapod locomotion farily well.
