Design and Analysis of a Robotic Lizard using Five-Bar Mechanism [PDF]
Machines, Mechanism and Robotics. Lecture Notes in Mechanical
Engineering. Springer, Singapore (2022), 2021 Legged robots are being used to explore rough terrains as they are capable of traversing gaps and obstacles. In this paper, a new mechanism is designed to replicate a robotic lizard using integrated five-bar mechanisms. There are two five bar mechanisms from which two more are formed by connecting the links in a particular order.

Coordinating tiny limbs and long bodies: geometric mechanics of diverse undulatory lizard locomotion [PDF]
, 2022 Although typically possessing four limbs and short bodies, lizards have evolved a diversity of body plans, from short-bodied and fully-limbed to elongate and nearly limbless. Such diversity in body morphology is hypothesized as adaptations to locomotion cluttered terrestrial environments, but the mode of propulsion -- e.g., the use of body and/or limbs
