Abstract

Discovering principles and strategies that allow for high-performance animal locomotion in complex environments will advance our understanding of the roles of locomotion in ecology, and possible routes for advancement of bio-inspired robots. Squirrels are capable of executing dynamic maneuvers in complex arboreal environments and are emerging as a model organism for studying the principles of agility and stability.
