Abstract: In this work, an array of electromechanical systems driven by an electrical line of Fitzhugh-Nagumo neurons is analyzed. It is shown that a single electromechanical system can display different dynamical behaviors such as single and multiple pulse generation, transient and permanent chaos, and antimonotonicity according to the system parameters. In the case of an array of the electromechanical system constituted of a series of coupled discrete Fitzhugh-Nagumo neurons, the numerical simulation shows that as the action potential flows in the discrete array, each electromechanical system executes a pulse-like motion coming at each resting state as the electrical signal passes the node. The electromechanical system analyzed can be seen as a model for multi-periodic actuation processes or a leg model in a millipede system. Furthermore, this line can also carry an envelope of action potential and can be useful for various kinds of information processing systems.
