Bounce snap mechanical kangaroo.
10 March 2011 to 00: 30 GMT update watch Jason Palmer science and technology reporter, BBC News: scientists look at Kangaroo bounces. Kangaroo bounce for new technology to the exact details of the layout how bare is now footage courtesy of Vicon.The thank you.
Most animals will adopt their upright posture of body mass increase is allowed to exercise more efficient weight redistribution.
However, not shown to adjust this way in the posture of the Kangaroo.
Now the outdoor infrared motion-capture approach shows how to distribute power to the ground with their feet along the boundary of the Kangaroo.
Motion capture records, go register, reflections from the small plastic markers stuck to analysis, mobile entities.

going to consider this question about hopping and animal gait in General “
London Golf coaches use Gollum to translate the motion of these creatures actor Andy Serkis’s Lord of the Rings film that analyzes end quote Alexis Wiktorowicz Conroy Royal Veterinary College, the student’s swing.
Subject, infra-red light illuminates and an array of slow-motion of the markers to track.
However, such research usually outdoors is a great deal is carried no infrared light is bouncing around from the Sun is.
Now, a team of researchers from the University of Western Australia Royal Veterinary College London, University of Idaho, University of Queensland’s new motion capture system “looking past ambient infrared light” and myself have been loaned from company Vicon can be research subjects focusing on: Kangaroo.
Infinite energy 
from a number of high reflective ratio dependent on motion capture ball bounced
Description of the “team tries to figure out how Kangaroo Group to change their body posture and body size of hopping are interested in” Craig ????? Idaho University.
“Is the number of seeds grow and increasingly adopt the upright.
“It is ‘ of mechanical advantage to increase the muscle-reduce requests to your machine. ?
Also team Kangaroo paws on the ground-to what are you measuring forces, their legs-what Board is known as a force to will be sent using.
Team also high-speed video-a captured the Kangaroo’s movement, using traditional frame method to retrieve data automatically provide exploration of the past in the same kind of motion capture system.
Together, Alexis Wiktorowicz-Conroy, Royal Veterinary College of fellows and research will speed and why Kangaroo to own bits tears not just will be found.
We, want to know how the pretty – fast even if you do not change the attitude – heavy to hop you can she told BBC News.
Complemented by motion capture Setup high speed video camera.
“That is important to not explain these animals are really great and we really, this is why muscle and tendon at high speed not burst.
“On people ankle joints; Seeing that has started. Looking at our more rear leg joints. ?
Shed light of Dr. Wiktorowicz Conroy believes information is another mystery Lou exercise will be: how these obviously efficient way will do it.
“Kangaroo movements are really neat and-at low speeds as the fifth limb using the tail as cm) inchworm is never being measured,” and her.
“They have to move fast, and they hop to start. Kangaroo and fatigue, but humans are very easy to do this; they spend a lot of energy is not.
Wallaby great Hill hops, and equally not be functional. (Way), marsupials have quite a bit of movement and change is more economical than you may anticipate all of them.
Experiment in the Zoo in Brisbane, massive team has won is working still to understand data.
However, we identified some of Dr. Wiktorowicz Conroy result, Lou bio mechanical mysteries to solve.
See is a lot we don’t know about them, are going to examine this question about hopping and animal gait in General.
“We finally we hope it can be used for veterinary science and conservation. ?
