Flow Physics of Routine Turns of Koi Carp (Cyprinus Carpio Koi)
Journal of Biomechanical Science and Engineering, 2009 This paper investigates the flow physics of Koi carp's routine turns with a novel CFD method solving the body-fluid interaction problem, which consists of deforming body dynamics and unsteady fluid dynamics.

Locomotion: Dealing with friction [PDF]
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 1998 To move on land, in water, or in the air, even at constant speed and at the same level, always requires an expenditure of energy. The resistance to motion that has to be overcome is of many different kinds depending on size, speed, and the characteristics of the medium, and is a fascinating subject in itself.

Anatomical adaptations of the hind limb musculature of tree-kangaroos for arboreal locomotion (Marsupialia : Macropodinae) [PDF]
, 2012 Tree-kangaroos (Dendrolagini) are Australasian marsupials that inhabit tropical forests of far north-eastern Queensland and New Guinea. The secondary adaptation of tree-kangaroos to an arboreal lifestyle from a terrestrial heritage offers an excellent ...

Locomotion of Snake-like Robots Using Adaptive Neural Oscillators [PDF]
, 2009 This paper proposes a CPG-based control architecture using a frequency-adaptive oscillator for undulatory locomotion of snake-like robots. The control architecture consists of a network of neural oscillators that generates desired oscillatory output ...

Locomotor Sub-functions for Control of Assistive Wearable Robots
Frontiers in Neurorobotics, 2017 A primary goal of comparative biomechanics is to understand the fundamental physics of locomotion within an evolutionary context. Such an understanding of legged locomotion results in a transition from copying nature to borrowing strategies for ...
