Crawling at High Speeds: Steady Level Locomotion in the Spider Cupiennius salei—Global Kinematics and Implications for Centre of Mass Dynamics

Spiders are an old yet very successful predatory group of arthropods. Their locomotor system differs from those of most other arthropods by the lack of extensor muscles in two major leg joints. Though specific functional characteristics can be expected regarding the locomotion dynamics of spiders, t...
