Latest paper from PhD student Anna Render:

Healthy adults trade off lateral stability for maneuverability to facilitate highly-versatile stepping in complex walking tasks.
Congratulations, Anna!

Latest modeling paper from Navendu Patil:

"Semistable" walking arises naturally from stepping regulation - This allows walking to be both very flexible and adaptable (i.e., variable) while remaining stable (i.e., without falling!).
