Animal evidence shows that precise voluntary movements arise from rotational neural population dynamics in motor cortex, but their physical effects remain unknown. We developed a robotic analog of biological motor systems with artificial muscles, multimodal sensors, and a neural network controller trained via reinforcement learning. The robotic analog exhibited accurate movements, robustness to damage, and neural population dynamics akin to animals. This task-driven, embodied model illuminates the causal link between neural population dynamics and motor outcomes. We discovered that neural rotations generate oscillatory maneuvers orthogonal to the reaching direction, optimizing trajectory adjustments, which is confirmed by primate neural data. The model also revealed counterintuitive neural energy principles under sensor and motor redundancies, and striking Eureka moments during motor learning, bridging biological and artificial systems. These findings provide new perspectives on how neural dynamics contribute to accurate and flexible movement, inspiring future intelligent robots with animal-like mobility.
