locomotion traces

Locomotion traces are graphical representations that show how an organism or a robot moves over time. They display the path taken, speed, and direction, often using lines or plots to illustrate movement patterns. These traces help scientists analyze movement behaviors, identify differences between individuals or conditions, and understand underlying mechanisms. By visualizing motion data, researchers can assess efficiency, stability, and adaptability of locomotion, facilitating improvements in design, rehabilitation, or understanding of biological movements.
