Humans have been walking on two legs for millions of years. All vertebrate species have a pelvis, but only humans use it for upright, two-legged walking.* The evolution of the human pelvis, and our ...
Despite rapid robotic automation advancements, most systems struggle to adapt their pre-trained movements to dynamic ...
How one of the oldest candidates for a human ancestor moved through its environment has remained an open question. A seven-million-year-old fossil from central Africa has been interpreted either as an ...
Assistant Professor Dr. Aaron Ames at the A&M Bipedal Experimental Robotics Lab (AMBER) heads a team of students in the design, simulation, and fabrication of a robot that will walk like a human. The ...
The evolution of bones in primates' knees could have implications for how humans evolved to walk upright, a new study has found. Researchers from King's College London analyzed the presence of the ...
The numbers speak for themselves. Cycling can be at least four times more energy-efficient than walking and eight times more efficient than running. This efficiency comes from minimising three major ...
