Sensory Feedback in locomotion control

This chapter focuses on the sensing processes and their interactions with locomotion control. The analysis has been accomplished taking into account different levels of behavior. Moreover dynamic simulators and robotic structures have been used to investigate the biological principles governing the sensory feedback in the real world.
