Snakes and lizards have distinct body movement patterns. Lizards bend from side to side as they retract their legs to walk or run. Snakes, on the other hand, slither and undulate, like a wave that ...

Locomotion is one of the most fundamental elements of any VR experience because it directly influences the sort of experience the user can have and how comfortable the experience can be. Since the ...

Scientists found parallels between the neural circuitry that guides locomotion in sea slugs and in more complex animals like mammals. Hundreds of millions of years before the evolution of animals with ...

The Legged Locomotion and Movement Adaptation, or LLAMA, is an autonomous quadruped mobility research platform system patterned after a working dog and similar animals. Army researchers designed it to ...

Insect-scale legged robots have become increasingly capable in recent years but are still severely limited in terms of onboard resources for computation and power. On the other hand, simple models for ...

Using biological experiments, robot models, and a geometric theory of locomotion, researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology investigated how and why intermediate lizard species, with their ...
