The efficient motility of invertebrates helps them survive under evolutionary pressures. Reconstructing the locomotion of invertebrates and decoupling the influence of individual basic motion are crucial for understanding their underlying mechanisms,...
Designers of legged robots are challenged with creating mechanisms that allow energy-efficient locomotion with robust and minimalistic control. Sources of high energy costs in legged robots include the rapid loading and high forces required to suppor...

Biorobotic fishes have a huge impact on the development of underwater devices due to both fast swimming speed and great maneuverability. In this paper, an enhanced CPG model is investigated for locomotion control of an elongated undulating fin robot ...
Soft-bodied aquatic invertebrates can overcome hydrodynamic resistance and display diverse locomotion modes in response to environmental cues. Exploring the dynamics of locomotion from bioinspired aquatic actuators will broaden the perspective of und...
The development of highly compliant materials and actuators has enabled the design of soft robots that can be applied in rescue operations, in secure human-robot interactions, to manipulate fragile devices or objects, and for robot locomotion within ...
In neuroscience research, the refined analysis of rodent locomotion is complex and cumbersome, and access to the technique is limited because of the necessity for expensive equipment. In this study, we implemented a new deep learning-based open-sourc...
