Each inclination of Kuri's head, each blink of its eye, its body shape and its pacing and locomotion design were all carefully considered, with the thought in mind of building something that was not necessarily optimally efficient or functional, but that was approachable, calming and inviting.
The emerging picture of its locomotion differs from any known living creature, Böhme said, describing it as "extended limb clambering," with Danuvius walking on two legs while using its long arms for support and balance but not for pulling up the body as other apes do.
Although they don't have onboard locomotion, when certain types of bacteriophages—'phages' for short—come into contact with specific types of bacteria, they bind to the outer membrane of the bacteria before releasing an enzyme called lysin that essentially drills a hole into a bacterial cell.
"We can take the skins and wrap them around one object to perform a task—locomotion, for example—and then take them off and put them on a different object to perform a different task, such as grasping and moving an object," said Kramer-Bottiglio in a statement.
Sternum-shattering drum production might not seem like the clearest way to say "We Wish You Happiness!" but in the constant locomotion of tracks like "Rostokino Acid" by the Russian producer Buttechno—usually a mutant of sorts but here playing it straight—there is some calm and quietude.
William Sellers, a professor at the University of Manchester's School of Earth and Environmental Sciences, led the PeerJ study, which combines multi-body dynamics simulations, machine learning algorithms, and skeletal stress analysis to create "the most anatomically complete reconstructions" of T. rex locomotion yet, according to the authors.
In these environments using high bandwidth virtual compliance, made possible by low impedance actuators, will allow the robot's legs to actively conform to the terrain producing a more efficient and swift mode of locomotion as compared to a statically stable crawling gait which requires accurate terrain mapping and explicit foot step planning.
"Using policies trained in simulation," the team writes in the paper, "the quadrupedal machine achieves locomotion skills that go beyond what had been achieved with prior methods: ANYmal is capable of precisely and energy-efficiently following high-level body velocity commands, running faster than before, and recovering from falling even in complex configurations."
"This information could help explain differences in their ecology and locomotion, including the strange fact that, while small crocodiles have been observed to bound and gallop, alligators have not," Julia Molnar an evolutionary biologist from the New York Institute of Technology College of Osteopathic Medicine who was not involved in the study.
Human locomotion has traditionally been a tough nut for roboticists to crack, but the team at Georgia Institute of Technology looks to be doing so in stride with the DURUS, a humanoid (or, rather, three-quarters of a humanoid) 'bot that has taken to the AMBER Lab's treadmill like a robotic fish to water.
You'd think that if someone could solve the locomotion problem, it'd be the designer who's had so much to do with the way players locomote through games today, but I've played Golem, and while it may be a fine game when it's released, I don't think that this is how we'll play VR games.
"They would have had to spend a considerable amount of time in the trees for this to happen, and I think the overwhelming anatomical evidence is that they were terrestrial in their preferred locomotion," he said, suggesting that activities like food gathering and digging up roots could have contributed to the thickness of their bones.
Nowadays, with advancements in understanding how certain VR conditions contribute to motion sickness and how to avoid them, my issues are more contained to matters of balance for any locomotion that doesn't work off of zone-based teleportation like in Robo Recall or Rick and Morty VR.  So how does VR gaming stack up to a previously-concussed player?
It uses muscles taken from the mouth of a sea slug connected to 3D-printed components to move about, and — when an external electrical current is applied to force the muscles to contract — can 'walk' at the extremely unhurried pace of 0.43 centimeters a minute in a form of locomotion similar to a turtle crawling up a beach.
By far, the issue VR developers are talking about most is this locomotion problem, or in other words, the fact that moving freely through virtual spaces, a fundamental appeal of video games for decades, makes most people sick in VR. Assuming VR will catch on like these developers believe, how they solve this problem could change video games forever.
