The gait kinematics of an individual is affected by various factors, including age, anthropometry, gender, and disease. Detecting anomalous gait features aids in the diagnosis and treatment of gait-related diseases. The objective of this study was to...
The transition from the lab to natural environments is an archetypal challenge in robotics. While larger robots can manage complex limb-ground interactions using sensing and control, such strategies are difficult to implement on small platforms where...

The purpose of this study was to compare a heuristic feature identification algorithm with output from the Beta Process Auto Regressive Hidden Markov Model (BP-AR-HMM) utilizing minimally sampled (≤ 100 Hz) human locomotion data for identification of...
has unique limb structures composed of a hard exoskeleton and flexible muscles. They enable the crab to locomote adaptively and safely on various terrains. In this work, we investigated the limb structures, motion principle, and gaits of the crab usi...
