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 ...

In an article published online in the scientific journal PLoS ONE on 12 March 2013, the researchers examine connections between bone form and locomotor behaviour in bipedal and quadrupedal marsupials.

Human bipedalism represents a major evolutionary innovation that at first glance seems improbable. Bipedal primates, unlike the quadrupedal kind, are slow, clumsy, and notoriously unstable 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 ...

Researchers have found that bipedal desert rodents manage to compete with their quadrupedal counterparts by using a diverse set of jumps, hops and skips. A new study suggests that it is this ...

At 7 million years old, Sahelanthropus tchadensis is considered the oldest representative species of humanity. Its description dates back to 2001 when the Franco-Chadian Paleoanthropological ...

However, balance is especially challenging for bipedal robots compared to their quadrupedal cousins. Boston Dynamics’ Cheetah robot, for example, can run at 28mph, ...

The bipedal humanoids may, in fact, be coming — but the quadrupeds are already here. They’re in labs, doing inspections in power plants and refineries, playing soccer and even — much to the ...

Hyundai Motor Group plans a closer collaboration with its Boston Dynamics robotics unit, purchased in 2021, which has developed a number of bipedal and quadrupedal robots.

Boston Dynamics' bipedal robot, Atlas, is able to perform a picture-perfect backflip. ... a quadrupedal robot that's capable of bounding around at serious speeds with a life-like manner.

Researchers have found that bipedal desert rodents manage to compete with their quadrupedal counterparts by using a diverse set of jumps, hops and skips. A new study, to be presented at the ...
