Gregg 8 8 Gait Primitives Strategies to walk straight-ahead and turn: Definition: An asymptotically stable gait primitive is a pair G = (H cl, x ), where H cl is a closed-loop hybrid system and x is an asymptotically stable fixed-point (modulo yaw) of H cl. Invariant w.r.t. time, heading, and global position. Energy shaping: no reference trajectories! arcs on walking surface:

Gregg 9 9 Lagrangian Mechanics Given config. space Q, a mechanical system has state (q, q) T Q and Lagrangian function L(q, q) = K(q, q) V (q) = 1 2 qt M(q) q V (q), Then, EL q {L} := d dt L q L q = u control input M(q) q + C(q, q) q + q V (q) = u inertia matrix Coriolis matrix potential vector
