Abstract—In recent research, the morphological effect is widely
discussed from walking to the Internet, and its mechanism for
generating the functionality has been discovered. In this paper, a
module that employs the structural effect for controlling behavior
is constructed using coupled nonuniform van der Pol oscillators.
We first examine the synchrony of two types of oscillators focusing
on number; then, an oscillator module that changes its
synchrony from structural disposition is constructed. Oscillators
are mutually arranged on a ring-shaped network, and an additional
connection is used for transformation. The stability of this
system is also discussed, and finally, the procedure for designing
this structure-sensitive module using more than three types of
oscillators is described.
