Psychology and neuroscience are concerned with the study of behavior, of internal cognitive
processes, and their neural foundations. However, most laboratory studies use constrained …

Robotics is an emerging synthetic science concerned with programming work. Robot
technologies are quickly advancing beyond the insights of the existing science. More secure …

Swarms of ground-based robots are presently limited to relatively simple environments,
which we attribute in part to the lack of locomotor capabilities needed to traverse complex …

This article presents a brief retrospective on the Haken–Kelso–Bunz (HKB) model of certain
dynamical properties of human movement. Though unanticipated, HKB introduced, and …

Outside laboratory conditions and human-made structures, animals rarely encounter flat
surfaces. Instead, natural substrates are uneven surfaces with height variation that ranges …

Drawing from both enactivist and cognitivist perspectives on mind, I propose that explaining
teleological phenomena may require reappraising both “Cartesian theaters” and mental …

For robots to successfully locomote in different environments, it is better to equip them with
multiple modes of locomotion. Multimodal locomotion for existing robotic systems is …

Robots excel at avoiding obstacles but struggle to traverse complex 3-D terrain with
cluttered large obstacles. By contrast, insects like cockroaches excel at doing so. Recent …

To traverse complex three-dimensional terrain with large obstacles, animals and robots must
transition across different modes. However, most mechanistic understanding of terrestrial …

Robotic spacecrafts have helped expand the reach for many planetary exploration missions.
Most ground mobile planetary exploration robots use wheeled or modified wheeled …
