Kinematics Hybrid Dynamics Continuous + Discrete Impact 4 variables
Must Simulate every point to get a “step-to-step” return map
Dynamic equations Single support ( Ѳ=[ Ѳns Ѳs ]’ ) M: inertia matrix N: centrifugal coefficients matrix S: torque selection matrix
Transition (assume instantaneous*) Angular momentum conserved
