Swing-leg trajectory of running guinea fowl suggest task-level priority of force regulation rather than disturbance rejection (2014)
Journal Article
Blum, Y., Vejdani, H. R., Birn-Jeffery, A. V., Hubicki, C. M., Hurst, J. W., & Daley, M. A. (2014). Swing-leg trajectory of running guinea fowl suggest task-level priority of force regulation rather than disturbance rejection. PLoS ONE, 9(6), e100399. https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0100399

To achieve robust and stable legged locomotion in uneven terrain, animals must effectively coordinate limb swing and stance phases, which involve distinct yet coupled dynamics. Recent theoretical studies have highlighted the critical influence of swi...
