Traditional geometric mechanics models used in locomotion analysis rely heavily on systems having symmetry in SE(2) (i.e., the dynamics and constraints are invariant with respect to a system’s position and orientation) to simplify motion planning. As a result, the symmetry assumption prevents locomotion analysis on non-flat surfaces because the system dynamics may vary as a function of position an...
