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 ...

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 ...

This valuable study characterises the activity of motor units from two of the three anatomical subdivisions ("heads") of the triceps muscle while mice walked on a treadmill at various speeds. Although ...

On the other hand, simple models for analyzing biological locomotion can also be handy and can help better design robotics systems. This motivates the need for simple models of legged locomotion that ...

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

A team of researchers has developed a motor-free quadruped robot that mimics a dog’s running motion. Making use of machine ...

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 ...

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 ...

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