To traverse complex three-dimensional terrain with large obstacles, animals and robots must transition across different modes. However, the most mechanistic understanding of terrestrial locomotion concerns how to generate and stabilize near-steady-st...

BACKGROUND: Manual treadmill training is used for rehabilitating locomotor impairments but can be physically demanding for trainers. This has been addressed by enlisting robots, but in doing so, the ability of trainers to use their experience and jud...

Locomotion is a key aspect associated with ecologically relevant tasks for many organisms, therefore, survival often depends on their ability to perform well at these tasks. Despite this significance, we have little idea how different performance tas...

Today's use of large-scale industrial robots is enabling extraordinary achievement on the assembly line, but these robots remain isolated from the humans on the factory floor because they are very powerful, and thus dangerous to be around. In contras...

Sandy beaches are areas that challenge robots of all sizes, especially smaller scale robots. Sand can hinder locomotion and waves apply hydrodynamic forces which can displace, reorient, or even invert the robot. Crab-like legs and gaits are well suit...
