When studying how fossil hominids moved, researchers usually analyze the morphology of bones—which is crucial for ...

One robot replacing a whole fleet of specialized machines? LimX Dynamics’ Tron 2 makes that science fiction dream a nearer reality. Starting at $7,000, this multi-form embodied platform melds modular ...

An international study shows that bone mechanoadaptation evolved alongside locomotion. By comparing vertebrates with different movement strategies, researchers identified protein families in the bone ...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Bipedal locomotion - walking upright on two legs - is a fundamental trait underpinning humankind's success. Scientists now have identified two innovations that occurred long ago ...

What may be the earliest-known human ancestor, an ape-man called Sahelanthropus tchadensis who lived in Africa roughly 7 million years ago, walked upright for much of the time, according to a new ...

An international collaboration study reveals how evolution and locomotion patterns, such as bipedalism, shaped bone ...

A new study has shown that humans may have evolved a spring-like arch to help us walk on two feet. Researchers studying the evolution of bipedal walking have long assumed that the raised arch of the ...

What may be the earliest-known human ancestor, an ape-man called Sahelanthropus tchadensis who lived in Africa roughly 7 million years ago, walked upright for much of the time, according to a new ...

A new model based on ground-running birds could predict locomotion of bipedal dinosaurs based on their speed and body size, according to a study published February 21, 2018 in the open-access journal ...

This thesis focuses on advancing bipedal robot control and state estimation within the context of dynamic environments. It encompasses several key stages, starting with the establishment of ...

We humans envy birds for their seemingly effortless ability to fly, and for their ability to extract endless amounts of bread from old people in parks. But there’s a middle ground between those two ...

A new model based on ground-running birds could predict locomotion of bipedal dinosaurs based on their speed and body size, according to a new study. A new model based on ground-running birds could ...
