• Leveraging elastic instabilities for amplified performance: Spine-inspired high-speed and high-force soft robots (2018, background): “Galloping has also been suggested as the most energy-efficient mode of locomotion in quadrupedal mammals (12).”
• Insect-scale fast moving and ultrarobust soft robot (2019, background): “Galloping is used by some rapid running mammals, where back bending increases stride length and allows the recovery of stored elastic energy (63).”
