Decoding the essential interplay between central and peripheral control in adaptive locomotion of amphibious centipedes

Amphibious animals adapt their body coordination to compensate for changing substrate properties as they transition between terrestrial and aquatic environments. Using behavioural experiments and mathematical modelling of the amphibious centipede Scolopend ...

Kinematic primitives for walking and trotting gaits of a quadruped robot with compliant legs

Auke Ijspeert, Alexander Spröwitz, Mostafa Ajallooeian, Alexandre Tuleu

In this work we research the role of body dynamics in the complexity of kinematic patterns in a quadruped robot with compliant legs. Two gait patterns, lateral sequence walk and trot, along with leg length control patterns of different complexity were impl ...

Towards Dynamic Trot Gait Locomotion—Design, Control and Experiments with Cheetah-cub, a Compliant Quadruped Robot

Auke Ijspeert, Massimo Vespignani, Mostafa Ajallooeian, Alexandre Tuleu

We present robot design and results from locomotion experiments with a novel, compliant quadruped robot: Cheetah-cub. The robot's leg configuration is based on a spring-loaded, panthograph-mechanism with multiple segments. A dedicated open-loop, joint-spac ...

X-ray mosaic nanotomography of large microorganisms

Marco Stampanoni

Full-field X-ray microscopy is a valuable tool for 3D observation of biological systems. In the soft X-ray domain organelles can be visualized in individual cells while hard X-ray microscopes excel in imaging of larger complex biological tissue. The field ...

Robot Trotting with Segmented Legs in Simulation and Hardware.

Massimo Vespignani, Alexander Spröwitz, Mostafa Ajallooeian, Alexandre Tuleu

This research is focusing on the implementation, testing, and analysis of quadrupedal, bio-inspired robot locomotion. Our tool of research is a light-weight, quadruped robot of the size of a house cat, both in simulation and hardware. We are currently foll ...

Oncilla robot: a light-weight bio-inspired quadruped robot for fast locomotion in rough terrain

Auke Ijspeert, Alexander Spröwitz, Mostafa Ajallooeian, Rico Möckel, Alexandre Tuleu

: On the hardware level, we are proposing and testing a bio-inspired quadruped robot design (Oncilla robot), based on light-weight, compliant, and three-segmented legs. Our choice of placing the compliance such that it is spanning two joints enforces a non ...

Toward a whole-body neuroprosthetic

Miguel Nicolelis

Brain-machine interfaces (BMIs) hold promise for the restoration of body mobility in patients suffering from devastating motor deficits caused by brain injury, neurological diseases, and limb loss. Considerable progress has been achieved in BMIs that enact ...

Dynamics of alpine plant litter decomposition in a changing climate

Konstantin Svetlozarov Gavazov

Climatic changes resulting from anthropogenic activities over the passed century are repeatedly reported to alter the functioning of pristine ecosystems worldwide, and especially those in cold biomes. Available literature on the process of plant leaf litte ...
