Shortest paths on 3-D simple Lie groups with nonholonomic constraint
— 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...

Final-state control of a two-link cat robot
: 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...

Controllability of a class of underactuated mechanical systems with symmetry
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....

Position estimation and fall detection using visual receding horizon estimation
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...

Control of an pseudo-omnidirectional, non-holonomic, mobile robot based on an ICM representation in spherical coordinates
— 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...
