“…For decades now Robotics has been a good field of interest [32][33][34][35]. This field of study is associated with the manufacture of different robotic technology to help mankind accomplish tedious and tasks related to unfriendly, toxic, and insecure environments like the industries, war front, laboratories just to highlight some examples [35], with loathsome conditions, liken to deficient lighting, poisonous chemicals, or limited spaces [36][37][38]. Scientists keep on performing research in the field of robotics to solve these practical problems pertaining to military, experimentations, commercial or domestic [39][40][41][42].…”

The major interest of this article is to investigate a single and an array of mechanical arms driven by Josephson junction (JJ) circuits and their applications in mimicking the locomotion of myriapods. Stability analysis of a single mechanical arm driven by a JJ circuit resulted in two equilibrium points and a switch of their stability for specific values of the stimulation current. Results of the numerical simulations reproduce the motion of myriapods in agreement with existing results and the proposed electromechanical system overcomes the difficulties of coupling many JJ circuits or other models of neuron circuits in actuating a single mechanical arm for mimicking the locomotion of myriapods. Actuation of the mechanical arm driven by a JJ circuit is confirmed by numerical simulations which are sensitive to the action of the electromagnetic signal and the effect of mass. The progressive excitation of the mechanical arms of the array of the electromechanical system as demonstrated by the numerical simulations is similar to the straightforward motion of myriapods.
