The robots helped solve an evolutionary puzzle and could be the first step towards a new generation of wiggling robots. The team used artificial intelligence\u0026nbsp;to study the movement of various lizard species.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026ldquo;We were interested in why and how these intermediate lizards use their bodies and limbs to move around in different terrestrial environments,\u0026rdquo; says one of the \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/www.pnas.org\/doi\/abs\/10.1073\/pnas.2118456119\u0022\u003Estudy\u0026rsquo;s\u003C\/a\u003E authors, \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/physics.gatech.edu\/user\/daniel-goldman\u0022\u003EDaniel Goldman\u003C\/a\u003E, Dunn Family Professor in the \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/physics.gatech.edu\u0022\u003ESchool of Physics\u003C\/a\u003E.\u0026nbsp;\u0026ldquo;This is a fundamental question in locomotion biology and can inspire more capable wiggling robots.\u0026rdquo; Other School of Physics scientists involved in the research include Ph.D. students Baxi Chong and\u0026nbsp;Tianyu Wang, and \u0026nbsp;Eva Erickson (B.S.
