The walking mobility with stability of 4 legged robots is the distinguished skills for many application areas. Planning gaits of efficient walking for quadruped robots is an important and challenging task. Especially, autonomous generation of locomotion is required to manage various robot models and environments. In this paper, we propose an adaptive locomotion control of 4 legged robot for irregular terrain using HyperNEAT. Generated locomotion is executed and analysed using ODE based Webots simulation for the 4 legged robot which is built by Bioloid.

Modular snake-like robots are robust for failure and have flexible locomotions for obstacle environment than of walking robot. This requires an adaptation capability which is obtained from a learning approach, but has not been analysed as well. In order to investigate the property of adaptation of locomotion for different terrains, NEAT controllers are trained for a flat terrain and tested for obstacle terrains. The input and output characteristics of the adaptation for the neural network controller are analyzed for different terrains in frequency domain.
