— Lie group symmetry in a mechanical system can lead to a dimensional reduction in its dynamical equations. Typically, the symmetries that one exploits are intrinsic to the mecha...
Abstract— The roller racer, an undulatory locomotion system, is a toy which can be propelled forward by sitting on it and only oscillating the steering handle. A nonholonomic dyn...
— We demonstrate five-degree-of-freedom (5-DOF) wireless magnetic control of a fully untethered microrobot (3DOF position, 2-DOF pointing orientation). The microrobot can move t...
