Biped Locomotion
	My earliest exposure to scientific research involved the biomechanics of sport and exercise, especially running, jumping, and load carriage. This experience has since evolved into an interest in biped locomotion, for both humans and robots. Though I don't expect to build a walking robot anytime soon, I do have an annotated bibliography on the subject.
