Multi-functional foot use during running in the zebra-tailed lizard (Callisaurus draconoides)
Chen Li, S. Tonia Hsieh, Daniel I. Goldman
A diversity of animals that run on solid, level, flat, non-slip surfaces appear to bounce on their legs; elastic elements in the limbs can store and return energy during each step.…
The effect of limb kinematics on the speed of a legged robot on granular media
Chen Li, Paul B. Umbanhowar, Haldun Komsuoglu +1
Achieving effective locomotion on diverse terrestrial substrates can require subtle changes of limb kinematics. Biologically inspired legged robots (physical models of organisms) h…
A Terradynamics of Legged Locomotion on Granular Media
Chen Li, Tingnan Zhang, Daniel I. Goldman
The theories of aero- and hydrodynamics predict animal movement and device design in air and water through the computation of lift, drag, and thrust forces. Although models of terr…
