DuckyDog: An Erect Amphibious Robot with Variable‐Stiffness Legs and Passive Fins

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
DuckyDog, a quadruped amphibious robot using erect posture, is proposed with dog‐inspired tendon‐driven compliant legs for walking and paddling, a duck‐inspired body for buoyancy, and passive fins to increase propulsion. It achieves maximum speeds of 0.4 body lengths per second on land and 0.3 on water, demonstrating the ability to navigate in complex ...

Demonstration of melatonin in amphibia

open access: yesBiosystems, 1967
The presence of melatonin in the amphibian epiphysis has been ascertained earlier by several indirect methods, demonstrating the synthesizing enzyme or precursors of the compound. This communication describes the presence of melatonin in amphibian brain in a direct way, using dextran gel chromatography as a separation method.
