Figure 6. Role of the fast synaptic dynamics: depending on the speed of the synaptic dynamics defined by , the locomotion properties are changing drastically.

Depicted is the distance traveled by the robot in 10 min simulated time on an empty plane. The inset gives a close up view for low , demonstrating that the locomotion starts only if exceeds a certain threshold value. Shown is the mean and standard deviation of 10 runs each. Update frequency 25 Hz.
