A data mule represents a mobile device that collects data in a sensor field by physically visiting the nodes in a sensor network. The data mule collects data when it is in the prox...
— The objective of this paper is to design a controller based on a nonlinear hover-mode model for a helicopter, which can be seamlessly integrated in an existing spatial path-pla...
One of the most general frameworks for phrasing control problems for complex, redundant robots is operational space control. However, while this framework is of essential importan...
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 ...
— This paper first presents a novel control strategy for periodic motion control based on a Hamiltonian system. According to the strategy, hybrid symmetric orbits (ideal walking...
