A terrain treadmill to study animal locomotion through large obstacles
Ratan Othayoth, Blake Strebel, Yuanfeng Han +2
A major challenge to understanding locomotion in complex 3-D terrain with large obstacles is to create tools for controlled, systematic lab experiments. Existing terrain arenas onl…
Cockroaches adjust body and appendages to traverse cluttered large obstacles
Yaqing Wang, Ratan Othayoth, Chen Li
To traverse complex natural terrain, animals often transition between locomotor modes. It is well known that locomotor transitions can be induced by switching in neural control cir…
Locomotor transitions in the potential energy landscape-dominated regime
Ratan Othayoth, Qihan Xuan, Yaqing Wang +1
To traverse complex three-dimensional terrainwith large obstacles, animals and robots must transition across different modes. However, the most mechanistic understanding of terrest…
Shape-induced obstacle attraction and repulsion during dynamic locomotion
Yuanfeng Han, Ratan Othayoth, Yulong Wang +4
Robots still struggle to dynamically traverse complex 3-D terrain with many large obstacles, an ability required for many critical applications. Body-obstacle interaction is often…
