Only Aggressive Elephants are Fast Elephants
Yellow elephants are slow. A major reason is that they consume their inputs entirely before responding to an elephant rider’s orders. Some clever riders have trained their yellow elephants to only consume parts of the inputs before responding. However, the teaching time to make an elephant do that is high. So high that the teaching lessons often do not pay off. We take a different approach. We ...
متن کاملMUSIC AND WALKING SPEED Music and Walking Speed*
Walking speed was timed for male and female pedestrians on a public sidewalk with fast, slow, or no music playing in the background (n = 20 per condition). Pedestrians in the fast music condition walked more rapidly than those in the other two conditions. Slow music did not reduce walking speed, relative to the no music condition. Walking speed did not differ by gender in any of the three condi...
متن کاملMultiple walking speed-frequency relations are predicted by constrained optimization.
A person constrained to walk at a given speed v on a treadmill, chooses a particular step frequency f and step length d=v/f. Testing over a range of speeds generates a speed-frequency (v-f) relationship. This relationship is commonly posited as a basic feature of human gait. It is often further posited that this curve follows from minimum energy cost strategy. We observed that individuals walki...
متن کاملFrom Walking to Running
The implementation of bipedal gaits in legged robots is still a challenge in state-of-the-art engineering. Human gaits could be realized by imitating human leg dynamics where a spring-like leg behavior is found as represented in the bipedal spring-mass model. In this study we explore the gap between walking and running by investigating periodic gait patterns. We found an almost continuous morph...
متن کاملWalking and Running
You are walking along, going to an appointment, when you realize that you a n rather late. You walk faster, and then faster still. You may double your speed, but your pattern of movement remains the pattern we call walking. Then, suddenly, you break into a run, an obviously different pattern of movement. Why did you do that? Why use one technique of movement at low speeds, and a dramatically di...
