Reading Group Review

29 Sep '21

Hello all, Today, we introduced Geometric Mechanics with Hatton/Choset's Nonconservativity/Noncommutativity paper. Next week, we will be discussing Hatton et. al, *Kinematic Cartography and the Efficiency of Viscous Swimming*, which ought to be a natural continuation of the topics from today. Nathan has volunteered to lead the discussion next week! Have a great week, and see you next Tuesday!

27 Sep '21

Hello all, Thanks to those of you that filled out the when2meet; based on everyone's responses, we'll be meeting at 10AM PDT every Tuesday. As much as I would enjoy meeting in person, I think it will be best to continue with the remote mode for this term; as such, the meeting link is below. Meeting Link: https://oregonstate.zoom.us/j/96296901909?pwd=OXd0K0FqOUpNNzV4cGx5R1AwRDFzd… As a reminder, we'll be discussing Hatton and Choset, *Nonconservativity and Noncommutativity in locomotion: Geometric mechanics in minimum-perturbation coordinates*. You should all be able to access it through the university library website. In the interest of covering more content this term, I would like our first meeting to be *tomorrow, 09/28/2021*. Please read the material beforehand. I understand that this may be too soon for some; if that's the case, please reply to the group or email me personally, and we can wait another week. See you soon!

Hello all, School's starting up again at OSU, so it's time to schedule the reading group! If you're interested in attending, fill out the when2meet below with your availability. We'll start next week, and continue weekly until the end of the term. When2Meet: https://www.when2meet.com/?12974003-OUwrO Next week, we'll be discussing a paper: Hatton and Choset, *Nonconservativity and Noncommutativity in locomotion: Geometric mechanics in minimum-perturbation coordinates*. OSU students can find it at library.oregonstate.edu. This paper provides background for a lot of what happens at LRAM, so it's a valuable read. Please read it by next week, and bring questions. Once enough people have filled out the when2meet, I'll send out a follow-up email with time and location information. If anyone has any comments, questions, or concerns, please let me know! I look forward to seeing everyone, Capprin Bass Laboratory for Robotics and Applied Mechanics basscap(a)oregonstate.edu If you're currently subscribed to this mailing list, but no longer find it relevant, you're welcome to unsubscribe <https://it.engineering.oregonstate.edu/mailman/listinfo/lram-reading>.
