Morphology and the gradient of a symmetric potential predicts gait transitions of dogs (2017)
Journal Article
Wilshin, S. D., Haynes, G. C., Porteous, J., Koditschek, D., Revzen, S., & Spence, A. J. (2017). Morphology and the gradient of a symmetric potential predicts gait transitions of dogs. Biological Cybernetics, 111(3-4), 269-277. https://doi.org/10.1007/s00422-017-0721-2Gaits and gait transitions play a central role in the movement of animals. Symmetry is thought to govern the structure of the nervous system, and constrain the limb motions of quadrupeds. We quantify the symmetry of dog gaits with respect to combinat...
