  1. 1. Relating early Human evolution to late Miocene - early Pliocene climate change

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för geovetenskaper

    Author : Tika van Galen; [2020]
    Keywords : climate; evolution; climate change; hominins; bipedal locomotion; late Miocene; Pliocene;

    Abstract : Human evolution has been linked to climate change multiple times in the literature. One of the more well-known theories is the ‘savannah’ theory, which states that walking upright became an advantageous character when climate in Africa changed causing drier environments, changing woodlands to savannahs.

  3. 2. Planning bipedal character locomotion in virtual worlds

    University essay from KTH/Skolan för teknikvetenskap (SCI)

    Author : Aron Granber; [2017]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : This paper presents a locomotion system suitable for interactive usethat can plan realistic paths for small numbers of bipedal charactersin virtual worlds. Earlier approaches are extended by allowing animationsto be arbitrarily blended to increase the range of motions thatthe character can produce and our system also achieves greater performancecompared to the earlier approaches.

  5. 4. Model predictive control of a walking bipedal robotusing online optimization

    University essay from Örebro universitet/Institutionen för naturvetenskap och teknik

    Author : Alexander Sherikov; [2012]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Humanoid robotics is a challenging and promising research field. Legged locomotion is one of the most important aspects of it. In spite of the progress achieved in the last years in control of walking robots, many problems are yet to be resolved. READ MORE
