Abstract
This paper is concerned with gait generation for the simplest underactuated multi-link robot. This robot is realized by a two-link planar system that locomotes in a viscous environment due to the existence of friction pads along its body. The proposed solution of the motion planning problem yields both a control gait for the inter-link angle as well as the location of the friction pad to produce a desired motion of the system.
