About

Yanfeng Lei investigates the biomechanics of animal locomotion and balance, with a particular focus on how organisms adapt their movement strategies to maintain stability under challenging conditions. His research spans both invertebrate and vertebrate systems, exploring the kinematic principles that govern efficient motion across different terrains and in response to external disturbances. In his work on the stinkbug *Erthesina fullo*, Lei characterized the spatial and temporal kinematics of level, vertical, and inverted locomotion, revealing how this insect modulates its gait to navigate diverse surfaces. His study on rats (*Rattus norvegicus*) examined their balancing behavior during lateral impacts, demonstrating that animals actively adjust their movement patterns to counteract external perturbations and preserve stability. Though his citation counts are modest, Lei’s contributions offer foundational insights into comparative biomechanics and the neural control of balance. His work is particularly valuable for researchers in robotics and rehabilitation engineering, as it provides biological inspiration for designing stable, adaptive locomotion systems.
