    I wonder if or how much their tails help them in balance.
    an interesting study!
    have to admit though… I found the robots seemingly heavy and somehow clumsy. 🙂

  2. I love squirrels. They are smart and entertaining.

    The robots are amazing,and move so much like a human. But I think a squirrel made by God would be better than a squirrel copy made by man.

    Those squirrels make great gymnasts. Very interesting study.

    I love squirrels, as you know. The way they can leap from tree to tree is amazing. I somehow doubt that a robotic squirrel could ever be so agile or speedy.
