Geometric Phases, Anholonomy, and Optimal Movement
(1991)
In the search for useful strategies for movement of robotic systems (e.g. manipulators, platforms) in constrained environments (e.g. in space, underwater), there appear to be new principles emerging from a deeper geometric ...
Optimal Control and Poisson Reduction
(1993)
In this paper we make explicit a reduction of G-invariant optimal control problems on a Lie group G.
High-Order Averaging on Lie Groups and Control of an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle
(1993)
In this paper we extend our earlier results on the use of periodic forcing and averaging to solve the constructive controllability problem for drift-free left-invariant systems on Lie groups with fewer controls than state ...
Motion Control of Drift-Free, Left-Invariant Systems on Lie Groups
(1994)
In this paper we address the constructive controllability problem for drift free, left-invariant systems on finite-dimensional Lie groups with fewer controls than state dimension. We consider small (e) amplitude, low-frequency, ...
Motion Control of Drift-Free, Left-Invariant Systems on Lie Groups, Part II: A General Constructive Control Algorithm
(1994)
In this paper we present a general algorithm for constructing open-loop controls to solve the complete constructive controllability problem for drift-free invariant systems on Lie groups that satisfy the Lie algebra ...
Motion Control and Coupled Oscillators
(1995)
It is remarkable that despite the presence of large numbers of degrees of freedom, motion control problems are effectively solved in biological systems. While feedback, regulation and tracking have served us well in ...
Control Problems of Hydrodynamic Type
(1998)
It has been known for some time that the classical work of Kirchhoff, Love,and Birkhoff on rigid bodies in incompressible, irrotational flows provideseffective models for treating control problems for underwater vehicles.This ...
