Two-Dimensional Kinetic Shape Dynamics: Verification and Application

Figure 5

(a) Schematic of the setup used to verify the kinetic shape dynamics equations. A force that is perpendicular to the flat ground is applied to the shape origin with a known mass. As the shape rotates, it propels a platform () linearly. (b) Representation of the modeled parameters based on the experimental setup.
