Scientists in Europe have created a robotic salamander that uses an amphibian type central nervous system to switch from swimming to walking as it crawls onto land out of water. The “Salamandra ...

A blocky, bright-yellow robot that would look at home in a toy chest moves like a salamander, as its inventors intended. The robot and the mathematical model behind it provide insights into how ...

A group of European researchers has developed a spinal cord model of the salamander and implemented it in a novel amphibious salamander-like robot. The robot changes its speed and gait in response to ...

It's yellow, modular, and can both walk and swim: it is Salamander robotica, the fruition of four years of research and one clever theory. Auke Jan Ijspeert of the Swiss Federal Institute of ...

Salamanders can navigate complex and unstructured environments thanks to their impressive body-limb coordination. Researchers have built a model that mimics a salamander's walk with the hope it aids ...
