Despite the need for fast locomotion to quickly serve given tasks, which require traversing complex terrain by running and jumping over obstacles. To provide an overview of the design of humanoid ...
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 ...
Now, a paper published in the American Journal of Primatology provides new insights into how and when bipedal locomotion appeared during human evolution. Professor Josep M. Potau, from the Human ...
One of the most fascinating periods in the evolution of the human lineage is the appearance of the first ancestors capable of bipedalism. Knowing the type of locomotion used by many fossil species ...
Dropping out of trees, they essayed a novel means of locomotion ... on genes favoring this unusual stance and gait, leading eventually to bipedal hominids. Critics have pecked away at the hypothesis.
On the ground, chimpanzees use a characteristic gait called knuckle-walking ... But we are by no means perfectly adapted to bipedal locomotion. Our spines are a heritage from distant ancestors ...
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 ...
The experts Josep M. Potau and Neus Ciurana at the Human Anatomy and Embryology Unit of the Faculty of Medicine and Health Sciences of the University of Barcelona. One of the most fascinating ...
