Steering of a class of nonholonomic systems with drift terms
In the present paper nonholonomic systems with drift terms are studied. The discussion is focused on a class of Lagrangian systems with a cyclic coordinate. We present an approach...

Visual Servo Velocity and Pose Control of a Wheeled Inverted Pendulum through Partial-Feedback Linearization
— Vision-based control of wheeled vehicles is a difficult problem due to nonholonomic constraints on velocities. This is further complicated in the control of vehicles with drif...

Extremal Trajectories for Bounded Velocity Mobile Robots
Previous work [3, 6, 9, 8, 7, 1] has presented the time optimal trajectories for three classes of non-holonomic mobile robots: steered cars that can only go forwards, steered cars...

Modeling and controllability for a class of hybrid mechanical systems
Abstract-- This work studies a class of hybrid mechanical systems that locomote by switching between constraints defining different dynamic regimes. We develop a geometric framewor...
