Quasivelocities and stabilization of relative equilibria of underactuated nonholonomic systems
Abstract-- This paper is concerned with the theory of quasivelocities and its applications to control. The equations of motion of a mechanical system are derived using the Lagrange

Groupoids in Control Systems and the Reachability Problem for a Class of Quantized Control Systems with Nonabelian Symmetries
The aim of this paper is twofold. On one hand we present an approach to the general problem of nonlinear control in the framework of (differentiable) groupoids, which, in our opin...

Visual servoing of an under-actuated dynamic rigid-body system: an image-based approach
Abstract--A new image-based control strategy for visual servoing of a class of under-actuated rigid body systems is presented. The proposed control design applies to "eye-in-h...

Symbolic Control for Underactuated Differentially Flat Systems
— In this paper we address the problem of generating input plans to steer complex dynamical systems in an obstaclefree environment. Plans considered admit a finite description l...

Switched seesaw control for the stabilization of underactuated vehicles
This paper addresses the stabilization of a class of nonlinear systems in the presence of disturbances, using switching controllers. To this effect we introduce two new classes o...
