Locomotion : Elie's Big Picture (II)

Elie Shammas

Abstract

In my last talk, I started presenting the snake board example. Even though, I showed that the system has an invariant Lagrangian, due to group symmetry, yet its momentum is not conserved. Did we find a counter example to Noether Theorem? Find out the answer in Part II of my talk. I will also present some of our preliminary thinking in three-dimensional snake locomotion.
