Journal ArticleDOI
Software techniques for two- and three-dimensional kinematic measurements of biological and biomimetic systems.
TL;DR: In this paper, the underlying principles of video and stereo video analysis as well as its automation are reviewed and accompanied by a fully functional and freely available software implementation, which can be used to automate the analysis.
Journal ArticleDOI
X-ray reconstruction of moving morphology (XROMM): precision, accuracy and applications in comparative biomechanics research.
Elizabeth L. Brainerd,David B. Baier,David B. Baier,Stephen M. Gatesy,Tyson L. Hedrick,Keith A. Metzger,Keith A. Metzger,Susannah L. Gilbert,Joseph J. Crisco +8 more
TL;DR: The biplanar fluoroscopy hardware and computational methods described here should make XROMM an accessible and useful addition to the available technologies for studying the form, function, and evolution of vertebrate animals.
Journal ArticleDOI
Wingbeat Time and the Scaling of Passive Rotational Damping in Flapping Flight
TL;DR: The FCT model predicts that isometrically scaled animals experience similar damping on a per-wingbeat time scale, resulting in similar turning dynamics in wingbeat time regardless of body size.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neuromechanics: an integrative approach for understanding motor control.
Kiisa C. Nishikawa,Andrew A. Biewener,Andrew A. Biewener,Peter Aerts,Anna N Ahn,Hillel J. Chiel,Monica A. Daley,Thomas L. Daniel,Robert J. Full,Melina E. Hale,Tyson L. Hedrick,A. Kristopher Lappin,T. Richard Nichols,Roger D. Quinn,Richard A. Satterlie,Brett G Szymik +15 more
TL;DR: These studies demonstrate that intrinsic properties of muscle contribute to dynamic stability and control of movement, particularly immediately after perturbations, and proprioceptive feedback reinforces these intrinsic self-stabilizing properties of Muscle.
Journal ArticleDOI
Three-dimensional kinematics of hummingbird flight
Bret W. Tobalske,Douglas R. Warrick,Christopher J. Clark,Donald R. Powers,Tyson L. Hedrick,Gabriel A. Hyder,Andrew A. Biewener +6 more
TL;DR: Testing the three-dimensional wing and body kinematics of rufous hummingbirds revealed that they have kinematically `rigid' wings compared with other avian species, and new evidence that the paths of the wingtips and wrists change gradually but consistently with velocity.
