 **1.** Generate a feasible motion plan for the **SWING (right)** phase of the walking gait using Optragen. I suggest the following sequence of steps:
   ***a.)** Select your stance frame to the be the **LEFT_FOOT** frame
-  ***b.)** Define an initial configuration for this phase of the gait. Both feet must be in contact with the ground. Further, the initial positions of both feet should not coincide; the **RIGHT_FOOT** frame should begin 'behind' the **LEFT_FOOT** frame - remember that this initial configuration must be identical to the final configuration of the **DOUBLE** (left-right) phase of the gait. You will have to consider and define the initial configuration of your biped such that it is 'mid-stride'.
+  ***b.)** Define an initial joint configuration for this phase of the gait. Both feet must be in contact with the ground. Further, the initial positions of both feet should not coincide; the **RIGHT_FOOT** frame should begin 'behind' the **LEFT_FOOT** frame - remember that this initial configuration must be identical to the final configuration of the **DOUBLE** (left-right) phase of the gait (since gaits are cyclic in nature). Because of this, you will have to consider and define the initial configuration of your biped such that it is 'mid-stride'.
   ***c.)** Design a trajectory (eg. set of waypoints) such that your **RIGHT_FOOT** frame begins on the ground (you can assume y = 0, w.r.t. your stance frame, is ground), lifts into the air, moves forward and steps back onto the ground. Remember that at the end of the trajectory, the **RIGHT_FOOT** frame orientation must be aligned such that the foot is level with the ground.
   ***d.)** You must consider additional constraints:

     ***(2)** the knee should not invert (to remain humanly-realistic)

-The Optragen examples demonstrate path planning between an initial and final configuration. If you have more than 2 waypoints, you can run the relevant portions of your Optragen script multiple times (eg. in a loop), where each iteration generates the trajectory between consecutive pairs of waypoints. The final trajectory is the concatenation of trajectory pieces generated during each iteration.

 **a.** An animation of your biped model executing the **SWING (right)** phase of the gait. The biped and all relevant frames (eg. **TORSO**, **RIGHT_FOOT**, **LEFT_FOOT**) should be displayed along with the CoM.
