Decoding the essential interplay between central and peripheral control in adaptive locomotion of amphibious centipedes

Auke Ijspeert

Amphibious animals adapt their body coordination to compensate for changing substrate properties as they transition between terrestrial and aquatic environments. Using behavioural experiments and mathematical modelling of the amphibious centipede Scolopend ...

Towards Dynamic Trot Gait Locomotion—Design, Control and Experiments with Cheetah-cub, a Compliant Quadruped Robot

Auke Ijspeert, Alexander Spröwitz, Massimo Vespignani, Mostafa Ajallooeian, Alexandre Tuleu

We present robot design and results from locomotion experiments with a novel, compliant quadruped robot: Cheetah-cub. The robot's leg configuration is based on a spring-loaded, panthograph-mechanism with multiple segments. A dedicated open-loop, joint-spac ...

X-ray mosaic nanotomography of large microorganisms

Full-field X-ray microscopy is a valuable tool for 3D observation of biological systems. In the soft X-ray domain organelles can be visualized in individual cells while hard X-ray microscopes excel in imaging of larger complex biological tissue. The field ...

Oncilla robot: a light-weight bio-inspired quadruped robot for fast locomotion in rough terrain

Auke Ijspeert, Alexander Spröwitz, Rico Möckel, Mostafa Ajallooeian, Alexandre Tuleu

: On the hardware level, we are proposing and testing a bio-inspired quadruped robot design (Oncilla robot), based on light-weight, compliant, and three-segmented legs. Our choice of placing the compliance such that it is spanning two joints enforces a non ...
