Current methods for bipedal walking control include playback of recorded joint motion and the derivation of dynamic equations to map desired forces at the body to the required torques at the joints. Both methods require a significant amount of up-front…

Two implications of received theory are (1) mineral net prices rise at the riskless
interest rate, and (2) in-ground value is equal to the current net price. Both propositions are
