This study investigates the role of leg campaniform sensilla in Drosophila melanogaster walking by analyzing their impact on motor control and behavior through optogenetic inhibition and imaging.

This paper develops a biomimetic fruit fly robot, Drosophibot II, to study legged locomotion by replicating the kinematics and dynamics of Drosophila melanogaster.

This study develops a 3D leg model for Drosophila melanogaster using anatomical landmarks to analyze joint kinematics during walking, revealing differences in joint motion and the benefits of natural rotational axis alignment.

AutoGaitA provides a framework for analyzing motor programs across species and behaviors, showing age-related loss of propulsive strength and task-dependent adaptations in mice.
