Abstract :
In this paper, we show the motion analysis of lizard locomotion as a part of a pre-study of surveillance and monitoring using an unmanned robot in a narrow area. The motion of a lizard was measured using 20 markers, adhered to the skin of the lizard joints, with an optical motion capture system. The lizard´s gait was analyzed, and a kinematic model was proposed based on the measured data.
