Animal locomotion can be viewed as mechanical rectification due to the dynamics that convert periodic body movements to a positive average thrust, resulting in a steady locomotion velocity. This paper considers a general multibody mechanical rectifier under continuous interactions with the environment, with full rotation and translation in 3-D space. The equations of motion are developed with respect...
