PIPA investigates the evolutionary transformations in frog limbs by combining muscle dynamics, skeletal structure, and external forces. Through innovative simulations and robotic models, the project aims to uncover the biomechanics behind locomotion and limb evolution.
Scientists race to find evolutionary ‘missing links’ between major vertebrate lineages to explain the origin of new groups.
In this effort, biomechanics is crucial since major transitions can spring from mechanical innovations (e.g. amphibian limbs or bird wings).
Yet, biomechanics is limited due to its own missing link: we poorly understand interactions among muscle dynamics, skeletal structure and external forces of limbs on the ground.
Aiming to bridge gaps in both evolution and biomechani…
