On the estimation of swimming and flying forces from wake measurements
TL;DR: In this paper, a model is developed to approximate the contribution of wake vortex added-mass to locomotive forces, given a combination of velocity and vorticity field measurements in the wake.

How Animals Move: An Integrative View
Michael H. Dickinson,Claire T. Farley,Robert J. Full,M. A. R. Koehl,Rodger Kram,Steven L. Lehman +5 more
TL;DR: Muscles have a surprising variety of functions in locomotion, serving as motors, brakes, springs, and struts, and how they function as a collective whole is revealed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanical work in terrestrial locomotion: two basic mechanisms for minimizing energy expenditure
TL;DR: During running, trotting, hopping, and galloping, the power per unit weight required to maintain the forward speed of the center of mass is almost the same in all the species studied and the sum of these two powers is almost a linear function of speed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Note on the swimming of slender fish
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors determine what transverse oscillatory movements a slender fish can make which will give it a high Froude propulsive efficiency, and the recommended procedure is for the fish to pass a wave down its body at a speed of around of the desired swimming speed, the amplitude increasing from zero over the front portion to a maximum at the tail, whose span should exceed a certain critical value.
Journal ArticleDOI
From swimming to walking with a salamander robot driven by a spinal cord model.
TL;DR: A spinal cord model and its implementation in an amphibious salamander robot is presented that demonstrates how a primitive neural circuit for swimming can be extended by phylogenetically more recent limb oscillatory centers to explain the ability of salamanders to switch between swimming and walking.
