Abstract-- This paper is concerned with the theory of quasivelocities and its applications to control. The equations of motion of a mechanical system are derived using the Lagrange

Dynamic control of constrained mechanical systems, such as robotic manipulators under end-effector constraints, parallel manipulators, and multifingered robotic hands under closure...
This paper investigates the effects of undercompensation and overcompensation of friction in PD controlled 1DOF mechanical systems. The friction force that is acting on the mechan...
— 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...
— Dynamic stability allows running animals to maintain preferred speed during locomotion over rough terrain. It appears that rapid disturbance rejection is an emergent property o...
