Understanding how behavior is controlled requires that modeling be combined with behavioral, electrophysiological, and neuroanatomical investigations. One problem in studying motor systems is that they have considerable autonomy; they are not driven solely by inputs. Choosing walking as the object of study is promising because if is a comparably simple and easy-to-elicit behavior, but it exhibits the special feature of most motor behavior-the interaction between central, autonomous components and peripheral, sensory influences. This article reviews the control of walking in stick insects, beginning with behavioral studies of single-leg control and She interleg coordinating mechanisms. These behavioral results are tested and supported by modeling the control system in an artificial neural network computer simulation and a six-legged robot Supporting neurophysiological results also are considered. Together the results indicate that the high flexibility and adaptability is based on a simple distributed control structure.
