Locomotion No.1 was built 200 years ago by Robert Stephenson and Company, a Newcastle-based firm named after the son of "father of the railways" George Stephenson. It became the first locomotive ...

The company behind the innovative VR locomotion device Cybershoes has officially shut down, ostensibly closing the final chapter on VR’s weirdest locomotion peripheral. The news was first ...

Although soft-bodied robots themselves can be fairly simple, low-cost devices, they typically require complex onboard electronics to control their locomotion. Such is not the case with a new bot ...

Using only airflow and simple physical design – resulting in a structure that looks like a roadside “inflatable tube dancer” – researchers have developed soft robots that achieve ...

Locomotion control has been an active area of legged robotics research since the 1940s. Researchers have shown that a legged machine can walk down a slope without motors or sensors (which is ...

The science center will be hosting "Locomotion Weekend," which will allow guests to see a "rail yard full of guest train displays owned and operated by model train enthusiasts," according to the ...

Knowing the type of locomotion used by many fossil species — walking upright on the ground or climbing from branch to branch with the strength of their arms — has been one of the most classic ...

They’ve dubbed this newfound behavior “lasso locomotion” and detailed its mechanics in a paper published in January in Current Biology. It’s the fifth officially recognized type of snake ...

Wriggling is the wrong word, however, as scientists considered the mode of locomotion to be so unusual as deserving of its own word: reffling. The armored catfish reffles its way across land when ...
