Animal Biomechanics
Animal biomechanics is the study of how animals use mechanical principles to move, sense, interact with the environment, and develop. It is a multidisciplinary field that investigates how biological structures, such as muscles, bones, feathers, and fur, are used to generate forces and produce motion. Animal biomechanics is key to understanding how animals move efficiently and effectively in their natural environment. This knowledge can be applied to improve animal welfare and performance, as well as inform the development of advanced robotic technology. Furthermore, animal biomechanics plays an important role in helping us to comprehend the evolution of locomotion and explores the connection between morphology and function.
