Photographic pioneer Edward Muybridge was fascinated by motion, and today, scientists at the Locomotion Lab of the Friedrich Schiller University of Jena continue to use cameras to research how we walk. As well as looking at human and animal movements, they’ve also created ‘walking robots’, and are capturing their movement using high-speed cameras. According to Zeiss’s blog, the researchers are using the ZEISS Makro-Planar T* 2/50 ZF.2 lens attached to Vosskühler HCC-1000 cameras, which are capable of 923 fps, at 1024 x 512 pixel resolution.
