While the beetles position themselves optimally for fog water collection on dune ridges, the grass occurs predominantly at the dune base wher...

The two primary ways of incorporating springs in the actuators of legged robots are to place them either in parallel or in series (Fig 1). While both types of actuator have been implemented in robots [3–5], it is still unclear which is the better choice from an energy con...
