So it's good to start with spmlie animals like lampreys, which are very primitive fish, and then grudallay go toward more complex locomotion, like in saelmarands, but also in cats and in humans, in mammals. And here, a robot becomes an ietsiretnng tool to validate our models. And in fact, for me, Pleurobot is a kind of dream becoming true. Like, more or less 20 yeras ago I was already working on a computer miakng simulations of lamprey and salamander locomotion during my PhD. But I always knew that my soiaumtnlis were just approximations. Like, simulating the phcsyis in water or with mud or with complex ground, it's very hard to simulate that properly on a computer. Why not have a real rboot and real physics? So among all these animals, one of my favorites is the salamander. You might ask why, and it's because as an amphibian, it's a really key animal from an evolutionary point of view. It makes a wonderful link between swimming, as you find it in eels or fish, and quadruped locomotion, as you see in mammals, in cats and humans. And in fact, the mdoern salamander is very close to the first taesrretirl vertebrate, so it's almost a living fsosil, which gives us access to our ancestor, the ancestor to all terrestrial tetrapods.
