abstract = {Animal, and insect walking (locomotion) in particular, have
attracted much attention from scientists over many years up
to now. The investigations included behavioral,
electrophysiological experiments, as well as modeling
studies. Despite the large amount of material collected,
there are left many unanswered questions as to how walking
and related activities are generated, maintained, and
controlled. It is obvious that for them to take place,
precise coordination within muscle groups of one leg and
between the legs is required: intra‐ and interleg
coordination. The nature, the details, and the interactions
of these coordination mechanisms are not entirely clear. To
help uncover them, we made use of modeling techniques, and
succeeded in developing a six‐leg model of stick‐insect
walking. Our main goal was to prove that the same model can
mimic a variety of walking‐related behavioral modes, as
well as the most common coordination patterns of walking
just by changing the values of a few input or internal
variables. As a result, the model can reproduce the basic
coordination patterns of walking: tetrapod and tripod and
the transition between them. It can also mimic stop and
restart, change from forward‐to‐backward walking and
back. Finally, it can exhibit so‐called search movements
of the front legs both while walking or standing still. The
mechanisms of the model that enable it to produce the
aforementioned behavioral modes can hint at and prove
helpful in uncovering further details of the biological
mechanisms underlying walking.},
