Obstacle Negotiation for High Speed Legged-Robots. Inspiration from Bipedal Lizards [link]Paper  abstract   bibtex   
Lizards are one of the few animal groups that readily switch between quadrupedal (4-legged) and bipedal (2-legged) locomotion. Previous studies on bipedal locomotion in lizards suggest that bipedalism does not confer any locomotory advantage for increasing speed or endurance but instead may have evolved as a simple consequence of acceleration generating torque around the hip joint.
