Predicting the metabolic energy costs of bipedalism using evolutionary robotics (2003)
Journal Article
Sellers, W. I., Dennis, L. A., & Crompton, R. H. (2003). Predicting the metabolic energy costs of bipedalism using evolutionary robotics. https://doi.org/10.1242/jeb.00205

To understand the evolution of bipedalism among the homnoids in an ecological context we need to be able to estimate theenerrgetic cost of locomotion in fossil forms. Ideally such an estimate would be based entirely on morphology since, except for t... Read More about Predicting the metabolic energy costs of bipedalism using evolutionary robotics.
