Humans learn to walk and run in both the forward
and backward directions.The physical properties
of our joints and muscles make it easier for us to
move forward than backward. For robots, this is
not necessarily the case. In our laboratory at the
University of Michigan, we are investigating the
dynamics of backward walking for MABEL.
