King penguins waddle to help create mobility aids to help people walk

King penguins are having their waddles tested to help scientists create mobility aids to help people walk.

The waddle-watching is taking place at a wildlife park in the Cotswolds.

Researchers are looking at how the birds adapt to walking on different slippery surfaces.

It is hoped the work will be able to be applied to the world of robotics.
