Biophysical Simulation Reveals the Mechanics of the Avian Lumbosacral Organ
An Mo, Viktoriia Kamska, Fernanda Bribiesca-Contreras +3
The lumbosacral organ (LSO) is a lumbosacral spinal canal morphology that is universally and uniquely found in birds. Recent studies suggested an intraspinal mechanosensor function…
Slack-based tunable damping leads to a trade-off between robustness and efficiency in legged locomotion
An Mo, Fabio Izzi, Emre Cemal Gönen +2
Animals run robustly in diverse terrain. This locomotion robustness is puzzling because axon conduction velocity is limited to a few ten meters per second. If reflex loops deliver…
Multi-segmented Adaptive Feet for Versatile Legged Locomotion in Natural Terrain
Abhishek Chatterjee, An Mo, Bernadett Kiss +2
Most legged robots are built with leg structures from serially mounted links and actuators and are controlled through complex controllers and sensor feedback. In comparison, animal…
Diaphragm Ankle Actuation for Efficient Series Elastic Legged Robot Hopping
Marco Bolignari, An Mo, Marco Fontana +1
Robots need lightweight legs for agile locomotion, and intrinsic series elastic compliance has proven to be a major ingredient for energy-efficient locomotion and robust locomotion…
Gastrocnemius and Power Amplifier Soleus Spring-Tendons Achieve Fast Human-like Walking in a Bipedal Robot
Bernadett Kiss, Emre Cemal Gonen, An Mo +3
Legged locomotion in humans is governed by natural dynamics of the human body and neural control. One mechanism that is assumed to contribute to the high efficiency of human walkin…
Muscle pre-stimulation tunes viscous-like perturbation rejection in legged hopping
Fabio Izzi, An Mo, Syn Schmitt +2
Muscle fibres possess unique visco-elastic properties, capable of generating a stabilising zero-delay response to unexpected perturbations. This instantaneous response -- termed "p…
