Is there a unifying principle underpinning animal locomotion in its rich diversity? A thermodynamic analysis performed by a Skoltech professor and his French collaborators at Université Paris Diderot, ...

Hundreds of millions of years before the evolution of animals with segmented bodies, jointed skeletons or appendages, soft-bodied invertebrates like sea slugs ruled the seas. A new study finds ...

Researchers questioned if coordinated group movements by animals moving through a fluid could reduce the energy cost of locomotion. By combining biomechanics and bioenergetics the researchers found ...

With the help of a form of machine learning called deep reinforcement learning (DRL), the EPFL robot notably learned to transition from trotting to pronking – a leaping, arch-backed gait used by ...

Their experiments revealed cross-species locomotion features shared by dopamine-deficient worms, mice, and humans. Despite their evolutionary differences, all of these organisms are unable to move ...

A zoologist has modeled the locomotion of animals and robots with different numbers of leg pairs. Besides providing new insights on the relationship between the number of leg pairs and body dynamics, ...

An exhibition of photographs by pioneering early photographer, Eadweard Muybridge will open at Beetles + Huxley in July. The exhibition will showcase 65 collotypes prints made by the artist in 1887, ...

Eadweard Muybridge (1830–1904) was one of the pioneers of motion photography. Using a complex experimental camera setup and innovative camera technology he succeeded for the first time in the history ...
