Made up of researchers from EPFL and Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, the interdisciplinary team built the robot in order to identify the most likely gaits of extinct animals by recreating their walking style.
According to EPFL, this study of animal biomechanics using robots could help researchers better understand how vertebrate locomotion evolved over time.
Comment: Autonomous construction requires open data standards
The UK is particularly well served with topographic data thanks to the Environment Agency´s LIDAR programs, specifically the composite digital terrain...
