Control of underactuated mechanical systems: Observer design and position feedback stabilization
We identify a class of mechanical systems for which a globally exponentially stable reduced order observer can be designed. The class is characterized by (the solvability of) a set...

Control of biomimetic locomotion via averaging theory
Based on a recently developed ”generalized averaging theory,” we present a generic approach for the design of stabilizing feedback controllers for biomimetic locomotive systems...

Stabilization of relative equilibria for underactuated systems on Riemannian manifolds
This paper describes a systematic procedure to exponentially stabilize relative equilibria of mechanical systems. We review the notion of relative equilibria and their stability i...

Extension of the Form-Closure Property to Underactuated Hands
The property of form-closure of a grasp, as generally defined in the literature, is based on the assumption that contact points between the hand and the object are fixed in space. ...

Stable Synchronization of Mechanical System Networks
In this paper we address stabilization of a network of underactuated mechanical systems with unstable dynamics. The coordinating control law stabilizes the unstable dynamics with ...
