... mechanics in an arboreal primate—the squirrel monkey ( Saimiri sciureus )—moving quadrupedally at various speeds on instrumented arboreal and terrestrial supports. Using kinetic data, values of energy recovery, center of mass mechanical work and power, potential and kinetic energy congruity, and collision...

... Hylobates lar primate locomotion biomechanics energy recovery Humans, like most terrestrial animals, have developed energy-saving mechanisms to reduce the cost of locomotion. Walking uses an `inverted pendulum' (IP) mechanism, enabling an effective exchange between potential and kinetic energy...
