We describe a software system, TOPO, that numerically analyzes and graphically displays topological aspects of a three dimensional vector field, v, to produce a single, relativel...
In this paper the control of exible joint manipulators is studied in detail. The model of N{axis exible joint manipulators are derived and reformulated in the form of singular per...
We formulate the L2-gain control problem for a general nonlinear, state-space system with projection dynamics in the state evolution and hard constraints on the set of admissible ...

— A planar compass-like biped on a shallow slope is the simplest model of a passive walker. It is a two-degrees-offreedom impulsive mechanical system known to possess periodic so...

In this paper we consider systems which are globally completly observable and output-to-state stable. The former property guarantees the existence of coordinates such that the dyna...
