Two-Dimensional Kinetic Shape Dynamics: Verification and Application

Figure 10

A schematic showing the kinetic board’s kinetic shape wheels as a user applies their weight on the front stepping platform. The user’s weight on the stepping platform is assumed to be perpendicular to the ground and transfered to the kinetic shape axle as . The kinetic board and the user are pushed by the kinetic shape axle. The user’s mass () and kinetic board mass () are assumed to be concentrated at the kinetic shape axle.
