The work, which eventually ran to over 100,000 images, was carried out as research for the University of Pennsylvania between 1884 and 1887 and documents a series of human and animal subjects, each ...

Researchers developed a motor-free quadruped robot mimicking dog motion using springs and cables, adapting to speed changes ...

Research suggests that early macropodoids likely adopted a bounding gait before transitioning to bipedal hopping. Small ...

In the remnant rainforests of coastal far-north Queensland, bushwalkers may be lucky enough to catch a glimpse of a ...

Flinders University researchers have studied the musky rat-kangaroo (Hypsiprymnodon moschatus), a diminutive marsupial that weighs only 500 grams but is the last living representative of its family ...

The basic principle is intriguing, too, the scientists said; it might be a way to think about how locomotion first evolved in animals that don't have centralized brains, like starfish or slime molds.

Primate locomotion is the study of movements and ... As one might expect, the muscles of the quadriceps are huge in these animals to produce the necessary leg force for extension to move these ...

H umans and animals are the key inspiration for many robotic systems developed to date, as they possess body structures that innately support efficient locomotion. While many bipedal (i.e., two ...

Once inside vertically confined spaces, cockroaches still locomoted rapidly at twenty body lengths per second using an unexplored mode of locomotion – body-friction legged crawling. Using materials ...

Mammals are among the most adaptable animals on the planet ... Mammals as a group use every possible form of locomotion. Terrestrial species walk, run, jump, climb, hop, swing, dig, and burrow.
