Humans and animals are the key inspiration for many robotic systems developed to date, as they possess body structures that ...

Q: Your field of research is primate locomotion. Why are you particularly ... Q: What do we mean when we say bipedalism, and why is it important? A: Literally, the word means "two feet" ...

It’s easy to see how LEO’s multimodal locomotion system solves — or more accurately, avoids — a number of the problems real-world bipedal robots are going to experience. For now ...

But we are by no means perfectly adapted to bipedal locomotion. Our spines are a heritage from distant ancestors who carried themselves horizontally, in water and on land. In those ancient ...

On rough and uneven terrain (such as stairs, rocks, hills), walking machines are expected to have better locomotion capabilities compared to wheeled machines. Thus, one of our research interests is ...
