We succeeded in reconstructing muscle activities from neural activities and in reconstructing joint angles during static condition. However, the reconstructed joint angles during movement did not have a good correlation with the real joint angles. Therefore, we adopted a servo mechanism to compensate for the error in the joint angles. This error mainly arises due to muscle properties such as the velocity-tension relationship or the length-tension relationship. In order to overcome the limitations due to these muscle properties, we divided an artificial neural network into two networks-one for movement control and one for posture control. We also trained the gating network to switch between the two neural networks. As a result, the gating network switched the modules properly, and the accuracy of the estimated angles improved.
