Self-propulsion via slipping: frictional swimming in multi-legged locomotors
Baxi Chong, Juntao He, Shengkai Li +5
Locomotion is typically studied either in continuous media where bodies and legs experience forces generated by the flowing medium, or on solid substrates dominated by friction. In…
Coordinating tiny limbs and long bodies: geometric mechanics of diverse undulatory lizard locomotion
Baxi Chong, Tianyu Wang, Eva Erickson +2
Although typically possessing four limbs and short bodies, lizards have evolved a diversity of body plans, from short-bodied and fully-limbed to elongate and nearly limbless. Such…
Geometric phase predicts locomotion performance in undulating living systems across scales
Jennifer M Rieser, Baxi Chong, Chaohui Gong +8
Self-propelling organisms locomote via generation of patterns of self-deformation. Despite the diversity of body plans, internal actuation schemes and environments in limbless vert…
