Please start reading Geometric Motion Planning Analysis for Two Classes of Underactuated Mechanical Systems (E. Shammas et al.) in the coming two weeks in preparation for our segway into locomotion, as noted on our schedule. We do not expect you to be able to understand everything, but it will give a good preview of some key concepts and ideas. The paper is somewhat long so please start early.
