Ep. 101: Locomotion

On the first episode of "The Tardigrade Chronicles", host Alan S. Rudolph is covering locomotion, or using the natural ability of quadrupedal, bipedal, and flying animals to inform the movement of robotics (swimming, however, is a story for another time). Tune in to discover the challenges of replicating natural motion, the force dynamics of something as “simple” as insect hexapods to the more complex bipedal human leg,, and how it was only in the year 2000 that scientists could even agree on exactly how a bee's wings worked. Please enjoy this episode of "The Tardigrade Chronicles”!Produced by Halteres Associates.
