Efficient sliding locomotion of three-link bodies with inertia
Adam Earnst, Silas Alben
Many previous studies of sliding locomotion have assumed that body inertia is negligible. Here we optimize the kinematics of a three-link body for efficient locomotion and include…

Efficient bending and lifting patterns in snake locomotion
Silas Alben
We optimize three-dimensional snake kinematics for locomotor efficiency. We assume a general space-curve representation of the snake backbone with small-to-moderate lifting off the…
