Abstract
To evaluate a neural interface, which comprises integral microelectrodes for neural recording or stimulation used for the control of human prosthetic devices, such as artificial limbs, a proto-type artificial body is being prepared for implantation of the interface in a rat. As a result of the first trial, new linkage mechanisms were developed, and a robot equipped with the mechanism was able to perform various walks likes an animal, including sidestep at high speed by swinging its legs.
