BIO locomotion serpentine mechanics

The biomechanics of serpentine locomotion have been examined. Apparently it is very similar to legged locomotion. In the unlikely case ESA wants to build a serpentine robot, this paper should be a first read.

New form of locomotion found in spiders. They say it could be used for a robot on Mars...don't immediately see how though. :)

Before it gets out of control... I hope you realise that quoting "Science Daily" in the context of science is pretty much like using Daily Mail as your reference news agency?

True Marek :) The article does quote a Journal Paper though ..... published in zootaxa: a staggering 0.9 impact factor journal!! And watching the video you immediately understand why :)

The way that Mexican jumping beans move by detecting temperature gradients could be applied to designing robotic beans. Most animals move around by using their appendages, such as legs, wings, or fins. But a few exceptional creatures employ rolling as a mode of locomotion.

isn't it strange that one single gene mutation can enable or disable such a complex behavioural pattern? anything to take advantage of in our gate study (Guido?)

It's really cool when it folds up, but then it's such a disappointing walk :) I also fail to see an advantage over regular robots. If you care about saving space during transportation, you could design a robot with that in mind without much sacrifice to it's locomotion capabilities.
