Researchers have created a bio-inspired quadruped locomotion framework with remarkable adaptability. The novel Deep Reinforcement Learning (DRL) framework, inspired by animal locomotion, enhances ...

With the help of a form of machine learning called deep reinforcement learning (DRL), the EPFL robot notably learned to transition from trotting to pronking – a leaping, arch-backed gait used by ...

The phase shift during swing is plotted (0 degrees in red, 90 degrees in orange, 180 degrees in yellow), along with the duration of swing and leg length of several species: horse, human, cat, rat, ...

Researchers questioned if coordinated group movements by animals moving through a fluid could reduce the energy cost of locomotion. By combining biomechanics and bioenergetics the researchers found ...
