    This posting is directed mainly to interested robotics and
    gait researchers in the Ithaca and Central New York area.

    It happens that our department (Theoretical and Applied Mechanics, Cornell
    University) has more or less inadvertently scheduled two
    speakers to give seminars on dynamics and control of bipedal
    locomotion during the same week. We decided to take advantage of this
    situation by having both speakers extend their stay and spend Saturday,
    April 27 in a very INFORMAL discussion session regarding topics of common
    interest (mostly dynamics and control of bipedal locomotion, with some
    discussion of collision modeling of rigid bodies and mechanisms).

    We are inviting anyone who is interested to the talks and also to join us
    in discussion on Saturday. No formal schedule has been made for Sat. - it will
    be dependent on the amount of interest. If you would like to join us on Sat.,
    please send your name, email, telephone, and research interests to
    garcia@tam.cornell.edu within the next several days, and I will formulate
    a plan and pass it along to anyone who is interested. If anyone from the
    surrounding area needs directions, I will be happy to provide them.

    The schedule thus far is as follows:
    Wednesday, April 24
    Dr. Art Kuo from University of Michigan will give a talk entitled
    "Stability and Control of Bipedal Locomotion in 3D: Can A Robot
    Move Gracefully?"
    4:30PM in Thurston Hall, Room 205 (refreshments at 4:15PM in dept. lounge)

    Friday, April 26
    Dr. Yildirim Hurmuzlu from Southern Methodist University will talk on
    "Nonlinear Dynamics and Control of Bipedal Gait"
    4:30PM in Thurston Hall, Room 205 (refreshments at 4:15PM in dept. lounge)

    Saturday, April 27 will be devoted to informal talks and discussion
    on bipedal locomotion and rigid body dynamics, depending on the interests
    of those who are present.
    ?? AM, Thurston Hall, room:??
