This project investigates how stick insects move on inverted surfaces, focusing on the metabolic and mechanical costs of their locomotion. By developing a unique system that allows free movement on various inclines, it aims to enhance our understanding of insect energy expenditure and inform future robotic designs insp…
Walking on inverted surfaces— or upside down— is crucial for insects when foraging, evading predators, or safely laying eggs underneath leaves.
Animals often choose how to locomote depending on the associated energetic costs; yet, the costs of locomotion on inverted surfaces remain unknown, and existing theories of locomotor energetics yield contrasting predictions when extrapolated to inverted locomotion.
This gap limits our understanding not only of insect biology but also of what determines a…
