Fall Quarter Reading Group!
by Bass, Capprin James 22 Sep '21

22 Sep '21

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>.

Reading Group Cancelled for Memorial Day
by Bass, Capprin James 31 May '21

31 May '21

Hello all, Reading group will be cancelled today, given the holiday. Unfortunately, this puts us up against the end of the OSU term, and I want to let everyone focus on finishing up. I had hoped to get further along in Chapter 5, but I'm still happy with the progress and discussion we have had over the school year. Depending on what everyone is doing this summer, we could continue with the book; I would love to hear opinions on what would be most useful. Thanks, and enjoy the holiday! Capprin

Hello all, Today, we discussed Section 4.3: Covectors on Lie Groups, and thought more deeply on the relationship between the total derivative and gradient operations. Next week, we'll read and discuss Section 4.4: Forces on a Rigid Body. Have a great week! Capprin Bass

Hello all, This week, we rounded out Chapter 3 by reviewing sections 3.7-3.10. Next week, we'll be reading Section 4.1: Cotangent Vectors. We hope to finish the text by the end of this term. The general plan will be to read chapters 4 and 5 section-by-section; afterwards, we'll read the (much shorter) chapters 6-10, one per week. See you next week! Capprin

Hey everyone, Today, we finished up with Jacobian representations (Section 3.6). We also got into some of our research applications that include the Jacobian. *We will not be meeting for the next three weeks.* The weekly breakdown: - 3/11: Nathan's Qualifiers (Please attend!) - 3/18: Finals Week - 3/25: OSU Spring Break While we won't be meeting, we still agreed to read from GM in the upcoming weeks. In our first meeting of Spring Quarter, we'll discuss material from sections 3.7, 3.8, 3.9, and 3.10; then, we can spend the remainder of the quarter focused on the remainder of the book. In the next few weeks, I'll send out a When2Meet to schedule the Spring quarter reading group. Good luck with finals, and see you soon! Capprin Bass Oregon State University basscap(a)oregonstate.edu
