Abstract Walking, running and hopping are based on self-stabilizing oscillatory activity. In contrast, aiming movements serve to direct a limb to a desired location and demand a qu...
The design and development of locomotory subsystems such as legs is a key issue in the broader topic of autonomous mobile systems. Simplification of substructures, sensing, actuat...
— Legged robots are by nature strongly non-linear, high-dimensional systems whose full complexity permits neither tractable mathematical analysis nor comprehensive numerical stud...

We demonstrate an adaptation strategy for adjusting the stride period in a hexapedal running robot. The robot is inspired by discoveries about the self-stabilizing properties of i...

We consider a class of linear flexible mechanical systems arising from the dynamics of animal locomotion. A distinctive property of such systems is that the stiffness matrix is asy...
