Head and tail? #2

Closed Russ76 closed 4 years ago

If you really want to duplicate movement of animals, don't you need the balance of a tail, and the steady gaze from eyes in the head, connected by a neck to the body? This is part of the animals' motion and grace.

Good point. The quadruped robot doesn't have a head of tail (and no spine), and the focus was on foot/body motion. If those were available, the motion retargeting would take this into account.
