The robot has 21 states, namely eleven configurations (q) and ten velocities (v). The eleven configurations are:

  • The first four are a quaternion representing the orientation of the hips in relation to the world/base frame.

  • The next three represent the position of the hips (in x,y,z, coordinates) in relation to the world/base frame.

  • Then, the next two represent the angles of the right and left tight tights of the robot, respectively, around the local y-axis of the joints between the tights and the hips.

  • Finally, the next two represent the angles of the right and left legs of the robot, respectively, around the local y-axis of the joint between the legs and the tights.

Then, the ten velocities are the derivative of the configurations. Since the 3-d orientation of the hips is represented in quaternion coordinates, there is one less velocity than position.
