Mechanics of Terrestrial Locomotion: With a Focus on Non-Pedal Motion Systems

by Carsten Behn, Klaus Zimmermann, Igor Zeidis

] Starting with the research of G. Bogelsack in the 1970s, the analysis of biological locomotion andmanipulation systemsandtheirtechnical realizationhas beenan- portant research eld within the Faculty of Mechanical Engineering at the Ilmenau University of Technology. In 1996, the German Research Foundation (DFG) funded the Innovation College "Motion Systems" at the University of Jena in a coope- tion with engineers at the Ilmenau University of Technology...
