In a groundbreaking experiment, researchers from the ArcLab(Adaptive Robotic Controls Lab) at the University of Hong Kong(HKU) have unveiled a quadruped robot that can mimic human walking style and ...
How did human bipedalism evolve towards greater energy efficiency? By analyzing the occasional bipedal walking of baboons, researchers have modeled energy transfers between body segments. Their ...
A new study examined the connections between bone form and locomotor behavior in bipedal and quadrupedal marsupials.
The acquisition of bipedalism is considered to be a decisive step in human evolution. Nevertheless, there is no consensus on its modalities and age, notably due to the lack of fossil remains. A ...
The team at DeepMind issued a research paper outlining a potential benchmarking system to quantify the performance of quadrupedal robots.
The question of how the bipedal stance evolved from that seen in our quadrupedal ancestors who walked on four legs has long fascinated scientists.
However, this evidence has given rise to a disputed hypothesis: Humans evolved from a quadrupedal ancestor that used all four limbs for movement on the ground, rather than a bipedal ancestor that ...
It all comes down to bipedalism, or the fact that humans walk on two legs. Because our various primate ancestors were often quadrupedal (walking on four legs), evolutionary scientists have often ...
The arm bones, however, indicate Sahelanthropus could also climb trees, both in a bipedal fashion — using its arms to steady itself, like modern humans — and in a quadrupedal fashion, with its ...
The bipedal humanoids may, in fact, be coming -- but the quadrupeds are already here. Boston Dynamics’ Spot is easily the most instantly recognizable of the bunch, but plenty of startups and ...
