Locomotion of robotic systems

Talk 4:30 pm
Locomotion of robotic systems is an expanding research field which is
still under development. Researchers have strived to understand the
underlying structure of locomotion and develop the appropriate
mathematical concepts required to describe the dynamics and kinematics of
locomotion. We will present a number of tutorial talks to introduce this
research area. The talks will be augmented with examples that will provide
the physical intuition behind the underlying mathematical concepts.
We will start the first talk by introducing most of the technical terms
and concepts that will be used in the series of these talks. In particular
we will introduce terms like: Lie groups, Lie algebras, action, lifted
action, the adjoint, and invariance. We will also include examples that
will help make these terms easier to comprehend.
