— In this paper we study the Carnot-Caratheodory metrics on SU(2) S3 , SO(3) and SL(2) induced by their Cartan decomposition and by the Killing form. Besides computing explicitly...
: This paper deals with twisting motion of a falling cat robot by two torque inputs around her waist. The cat robot consists of two rigid columns and has internally two actuators a...
In this paper we develop results based on geometric mechanics to study the controllability of a class of controlled under-actuated left invariant mechanical systems on Lie groups....
The purpose of this paper is to estimate the position of a human in the image frame and to use this information to diagnose falls. A nonholonomic locomotion model describes the dis...
— For mobile platforms with steerable standard wheels it is necessary to precisely coordinate rotation and steering angle of their wheels. Especially for redundantly actuated pla...
