Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) This paper addresses hardware modeling of replicating several walking patterns (gaits) observed in four-leg animals. They show a lot of gaits such as walk, trot, bound, etc., depending on their travel velocity. Mathematical modeling has been useful to replicate plausible oscillatory rhythms corresponding to the biological gaits. However, you have to change simultaneously many parameters in such models to switch on some gait from another. In this report, we reproduced four typical gaits (stand, pronk, walk and bound) by designing and constructing a network model using electronic circuits. The remarkable point was that the gait was switchable by an only single parameter in the hardware model. Furthermore, we regulated the bifurcation structure of the hardware model, to adjust to the typical bifurcations observed in the mathematical models.
