Knuckle-walking and behavioural flexibility in great apes by Emily LR Tarrega-Saunders, Charlotte King, Alice M Roberts, Susannah KS Thorpe

“…We suggest that future studies of hominoid locomotion consider a species’ full range of environmental contexts, as well as the potential influence of developmental plasticity on locomotor anatomy, in order to make more robust conclusions about the evolution of locomotor behaviour.…”

Dynamic Modeling and Nonlinear Position Control of a Quadruped Robot with Theo Jansen Linkage Mechanisms and a Single Actuator by Shunsuke Nansai, Rajesh Elara Mohan, Ning Tan, Nicolas Rojas, Masami Iwase

“…The Theo Jansen mechanism is gaining widespread popularity among the legged robotics community due to its scalable design, energy efficiency, low payload-to-machine-load ratio, bioinspired locomotion, and deterministic foot trajectory. In this paper, we perform for the first time the dynamic modeling and analysis on a four-legged robot driven by a single actuator and composed of Theo Jansen mechanisms. …”

A Stabilization Method Based on an Adaptive Feedforward Controller for the Underactuated Bipedal Walking with Variable Step-Length on Compliant Discontinuous Ground by Yang Wang, Daojin Yao, Jie He, Xiaohui Xiao

“…This paper proposes a stabilization method for the underactuated bipedal locomotion on the discontinuous compliant ground. Unlike a totally new control method, the method is actually a high-level control strategy developed based on an existing low-level controller meant for the continuous compliant ground. …”

Can the Spinal Cord Learn and Remember? by Pierre A. Guertin

“…Experiments performed mainly in spinal cord–transected animals have reported that, indeed, spinal-mediated functions, such as the stretch or flexion reflex, pain signaling, micturition, or locomotion, may undergo plasticity changes associated with partial functional recovery that occur spontaneously or conditionally. …”
