Controllability and motion planning of a multibody Chaplygin’s sphere and Chaplygin’s Top

چکیده
This paper studies local configuration controllability of multibody systems with nonholonomic constraints. As a nontrivial example of the theory, we consider the dynamics and control of a multibody spherical robot. Internal rotors and sliders are used as the mechanisms for control. Our model is based on equations developed by the second author for certain mechanical systems with nonholonomic constraints, e.g. Chaplygin’s sphere and Chaplygin’s top in particular, and the multibody framework for unconstrained mechanical systems developed by the first and third authors. Recent methods for determining controllability and path planning for multibody systems with symmetry are extended to treat a class of mechanical systems with nonholonomic constraints. Specific results on the controllability and path planning of the spherical robot model are presented. Copyright q 2007 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

A Generalization of Chaplygin’s Reducibility Theorem
In this paper we study Chaplygin’s Reducibility Theorem and extend its applicability to nonholonomic systems with symmetry described by the Hamilton-Poincaré-d’Alembert equations in arbitrary degrees of freedom. As special cases we extract the extension of the Theorem to nonholonomic Chaplygin systems with nonabelian symmetry groups as well as Euler-Poincaré-Suslov systems in arbitrary degrees ...
متن کاملAn (almost) Symplectic View of Chaplygin’s Ball
Via compression ([11, 7]) we write the n-dimensional Chaplygin sphere system as an almost Hamiltonian system on T SO(n) with internal symmetry group SO(n− 1). We show how this symmetry group can be factored out, and pass to the fully reduced system on (a fiber bundle over) T S. This approach yields an explicit description of the reduced system in terms of the geometric data involved. Due to thi...
متن کاملNonholonomic Motion Planning versus Controllability via the Multibody Car System Example
A multibody car system is a non-nilpotent, non-regular, triangularizable and well-controllable system. One goal of the current paper is to prove this obscure assertion. But its main goal is to explain and enlighten what it means. Motion planning is an already old and classical problem in Robotics. A few years ago a new instance of this problem has appeared in the literature : motion planning fo...
متن کاملMeniscus on a shaped fibre : singularities and hodograph formulation Mars
Using the method of matched asymptotic expansions, the problem of the capillary rise of a meniscus on the complex-shaped fibres was reduced to a nonlinear problem of determination of a minimal surface. This surface has to satisfy a special boundary condition at infinity. The proposed formulation allows one to interpret the meniscus problem as a problem of flow of a fictitious non-Newtonian flui...
متن کاملA real-time recursive dynamic model for vehicle driving simulators
This paper presents the Real-Time Recursive Dynamics (RTRD) model that is developed for driving simulators. The model could be implemented in the Driving Simulator. The RTRD can also be used for off-line high-speed dynamics analysis, compared with commercial multibody dynamics codes, to speed up mechanical design process. An overview of RTRD is presented in the paper. Basic models for specific ...
