model showed the traditional tripod gait is most effective for an insect climbing a wall. However, the gait requires adhesive pads for the feet, an attribute robots don't have. For a basic floor walk with no adhesive booties, the algorithm determined a bipod gait, with only two feet on the floor, was faster and more efficient.


Researchers published their findings in the journal Nature Communications.


"Our findings support the idea that insects use a tripod gait to most effectively walk on surfaces in three dimensions,cheap jordans for sale, and because their legs have adhesive properties. This confirms a long-standing biological hypothesis,cheap jordan shoes,jordans for sale cheap...ohn Lewis Donald Trump is," said Ramdya. "Ground robots should therefore break free from only using the tripod gait."
