This paper describes a prototype and analytical studies of a spherical rolling robot, a new design of a nonholonomic system. The spherical robot is driven by two remotely controll...
We address the motion planning problem (open-loop trajectory design) for manipulating rigid bodies with permanent rolling contact without slipping. This problem is related in part...
Abstract— This paper focuses on the dribbling control problem of an omnidirectional mobile robot and a rolling ball in the RoboCup Middle Size domain. Because the ball easily sli...
In this paper, we develop tw o mechanisms for improving humanoid robot motions. The double spherical joint is a six DOF mechanism whose axes intersect in one point. This mechanism...
This paper investigates controllability of underactuated rolling systems consisting of a smooth object rolling on a moving smooth surface. Our system consists of a spherical ball ...
