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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

The primary goal of the CoBaL lab is to understand the neural and biomechanical basis of human upright balance. The bipedal human is inherently unstable and needs a sophisticated control system to ...

Dinosaurs' range of locomotion made them incredibly ... but many still bipedal like their ancestors. The diversity of their ...

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 ...
