abstract = "Legged animals exhibit adaptive and resilient locomotion through their inter-limb coordination. Our long-term goal of this study is to develop a systematic design scheme for legged robots by elucidating the inter-limb coordination mechanism of various legged animals from a unified viewpoint. As a preliminary step towards this, we here focus on millipedes. We performed behavioral experiments on a terrain with gap, and found that legs do not tend to move without the ground contact. Based on this qualitative finding, we proposed a decentralized control scheme using local force feedback.",
