Active and passive mechanics for rough terrain traversal in centipedes

K. Diaz, E. Erickson, B. Chong, D. Soto, D. I. Goldman

This study examines how centipedes adjust their locomotion strategies on rough terrain, finding that one species switches stepping patterns and both use passive mechanics to navigate.
