Mobile robots did not wait to know that they were nonholonomic to plan and execute their
motions autonomously. It is interesting to notice that the first navigation systems have been …

Planning algorithms are impacting technical disciplines and industries around the world,
including robotics, computer-aided design, manufacturing, computer graphics, aerospace …

A Mathematical Introduction to Robotic Manipulation presents a mathematical formulation of
the kinematics, dynamics, and control of robot manipulators. It uses an elegant set of …

Strongly correlated quantum systems are among the most intriguing and fundamental
systems in physics. One such example is the Tonks–Girardeau gas,, proposed about 40 …

Provides a summary of recent developments in control of nonholonomic systems. The
published literature has grown enormously during the last six years, and it is now possible to …

This paper presents Continuous Curvature (CC) Steer, a steering method for car-like
vehicles, ie, an algorithm planning paths in the absence of obstacles. CC Steer is the first to …

In this paper, we introduce an approach for the efficient solution of motion-planning
problems for time-invariant dynamical control systems with symmetries, such as mobile …

At publication, The Control Handbook immediately became the definitive resource that
engineers working with modern control systems required. Among its many accolades, that …

The operation of an autonomous vehicle in an unknown, dynamic environment is a very
complex problem, especially when the vehicle is required to use its full maneuvering …

Nonholonomic systems are control systems which depend linearly on the control. Their
underlying geometry is the sub-Riemannian geometry, which plays for these systems the …
