ABSTRACT

Legless figures such as snakes and worms are modelled as mass-spring systems. Muscle contractions are simulated by animating the spring tensions. Directional friction due to the surface structure is included in the dynamic model and legless figure locomotion results. Various modes of locomotion are described.
