Do general theories of locomotion apply to underwater walkers
Meeting Abstract 129-6 Sunday, Jan. 7 11:15 – 11:30 Do general theories of locomotion apply to underwater walkers? ELLERS, O*; JOHNSON, AS; MOTOKAWA, T; Bowdoin College; Bowdoin College; Tokyo Institute of Technology ajohnson@bowdoin.edu https://www.bowdoin.edu/faculty/a/ajohnson/ Theories explaining animal locomotion abound. None of these theories, however, have been applied to underwater legged locomotion. To adjust and adapt those theories […]
