🔍 Evidence (1)
Dynamics and control of legged locomotion is such a tough engineering problem. The legged robots that we have built so far struggle with it; they barely survive outside the laboratory environment. Nor do artificial legs reach far beyond peg legs that offer a mere support to their users. Even when legs are perfectly intact, as in spinal cord injured patients, we do not know how to engineer locomoti
