Animal Locomotion
Recent experimental and computational studies of swimming hydrodynamics have contributed significantly to our understanding of how animals swim, but much remains to be done. Ten questions are presented here as an avenue to discuss some of the arenas in which progress still is needed and as a means of considering the technical approaches to address these questions. 1. What is the threedimensiona...
متن کاملAnimal Locomotion Controllers From Scratch
There exists a large body of research devoted to creating real time interactive locomotion controllers which are targeted at some specific class of character, most often humanoid bipeds. Relatively little work, however, has been done on approaches which are applicable to creatures with a wide range of different forms – partially due to the lack of easily obtainable motion-capture data for anima...
متن کاملModel Reduction for Human and Animal Locomotion
Complexity of existing mathematical models inhibits the analysis and the automatic animation of human and animal motion. Current techniques rely on numerical simulations of highly nonlinear differential equations in highdimensional spaces. A motion with such large-scale dynamics is difficult to control because of the sheer size of its control space. We are developing a method for constructing s...
متن کاملFast simulation of animal locomotion: lamprey swimming
Abstract. Biologically realistic computer simulation of vertebrate locomotion is an interesting and challenging problem with applications in computer graphics and robotics. One current approach simulates a relatively simple vertebrate, the lamprey, using recurrent neural networks for the spine and a physical model for the body. The model is realized as a system of di↵erential equations. The dra...
متن کاملStudies in Animal Locomotion Viii. the Kinetics of Locomotion of Nereis Diversicolor
(With One Plate and Eight Text-figures) THE locomotory movements of a typical polychaete worm, such as Nereis diversicolor, are of interest in that they are effected by two distinct mechanisms, (i) a series of parapodia which act as levers comparable to the appendages of terrestrial animals, (ii) the longitudinal muscles of the body. When Nereis is moving slowly over a solid surface, only the p...
