A chimp-sized human ancestor walked upright 6 million years ago, far earlier than other known species with a human-like gait, researchers reported Thursday.

Humanity’s peculiar gait has long confounded engineers and biomechanists—but it might be one of nature’s clever tricks.

A motorless, flexible, waterproof prosthetic foot inspired by the anatomy of the human extremity is the new SoftFoot Pro bionic foot prototype, designed by the Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT ...

Human gait adapted for efficient walking at the cost of efficient running Date: February 12, 2010 Source: University of Utah Summary: Humans, other great apes and bears are among the few animals ...

China’s robotics startup EngineAI is developing a control method that enables humanoid robots to walk with straight legs, mimicking natural human gait more closely. Though still in the research ...

The human gait involves a complex interplay between the brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerves, muscles, and joints. When neurological issues begin to develop, this intricate coordination system ...

A forward lean looks more like the posture of walking chimpanzees instead of the straight upright stance of a human gait. A flexible arch helped reposition the ankle upright, allowing the leg to ...

Running heel first, like humans, doesn't make energetic sense, so why do we use a heel first running gait when most animals run on their toes? Because our "heel first" gait is incredibly efficient ...

A Gait Analysis Says I Have A++ Form—But Here’s Why There’s Room to Improve One takeaway from getting a lab assessment: we should all lean forward more.

SE01 a humanoid with human-like agility Last October, EngineAI's SE01 set new benchmarks in humanoid robotics with its exceptional ability to mimic human gait.
