In this paper, we address the critical challenge of gait transitions for legged robots, focusing
on the challenges of versatile phase transitions and the generation of stable motion. We …

The dynamic adhesive systems in nature have served as inspirations for the development of
intelligent adhesive surfaces. However, the mechanisms underlying the rapid controllable …

Although ants are conceived of as paragons of social complexity, it may be their locomotory
capacity that truly sets them apart from other Hymenoptera. Based on our comparative …

In this paper, we address the problem of gait transition for legged robots, focusing on the
challenges of versatile phase transitions and stable motion generation. To tackle the phase …
