BBC NEWS | Science/Nature | Robotics show Lucy walked upright
​
Australopithecus afarensis, the early human who lived about 3.2 million years ago, walked upright, according to an "evolutionary robotics" model.
​
...a team of scientists from around the UK have used computer robotic techniques to work out the most energy efficient gait for afarensis based Lucy's skeleton and the Laetoli footprint trails.
​
The work will be published in Interface
