Active and passive mechanics for rough terrain traversal in centipedes

K. Diaz, E. Erickson, B. Chong, D. Soto, D. I. Goldman

This study examines how centipedes adjust their locomotion strategies on rough terrain, finding that one species switches stepping patterns and both use passive mechanics to navigate.

A minimal robophysical model of quadriflagellate self-propulsion

K. Diaz, T. L. Robinson, Y. Ozkan Aydin, E. Aydin, D. I. Goldman, K. Y. Wan

This paper develops a robotic model of quadriflagellate microorganisms to test if swimming speed differences arise from gait variations, finding that the trot gait achieves the highest performance.
