Predicting the metabolic energy costs of bipedalism using evolutionary roboticsW I Sellers
Department of Human Sciences, Loughborough University, Loughborough LE11 3TU, UK
J Exp Biol 206:1127-36. 2003..In addition, the animations produced by this technique are qualitatively very convincing, which suggests that this may also be a useful technique for visualizing bipedal locomotion...
Using sensitivity analysis to validate the predictions of a biomechanical model of bite forcesWilliam Irvin Sellers
Department of Human Sciences, Loughborough University, Loughborough LE11 3TU, UK
Ann Anat 186:89-95. 2004..Without the sensitivity analysis it would not have been possible to identify these weaknesses which strongly supports the use of sensitivity analysis as a validation technique for biomechanical modelling...
Evaluating alternative gait strategies using evolutionary roboticsWilliam I Sellers
Department of Human Sciences, Loughborough University, UK
J Anat 204:343-51. 2004..The energy costs associated with these gait choices can thus be calculated and this information used to evaluate possible locomotor strategies in early hominids...
Automatic monitoring of primate locomotor behaviour using accelerometersW I Sellers
Department of Human Sciences, Loughborough University, Loughborough, UK
Folia Primatol (Basel) 75:279-93. 2004..Cyclic activities were less well characterised, but calibration should permit travel distance estimations equalling or bettering those from conventional techniques...
Estimating dinosaur maximum running speeds using evolutionary roboticsWilliam Irvin Sellers
Integrative Vertebrate Biology, Faculty of Life Sciences, University of Manchester, Jackson s Mill, PO Box 88, Sackville Street, Manchester M60 1QD, UK
Proc Biol Sci 274:2711-6. 2007..Limited sensitivity analysis is performed on key muscle parameters but there is considerable scope for extending this in the future...
