Abstract: Abstract Inverted pendulum (IP) has been broadly used to model locomotor systems. In this paper, we demonstrate that an IP-like model could simulate stable periodic handspring maneuvers with passive flight phases. The model is a… read more here.

Abstract: Leaves falling in air and marine larvae settling in water are examples of unsteady descents due to complex interactions between gravitational and aerodynamic forces. Understanding passive flight is relevant to many branches of engineering and… read more here.
