Motion Control of a Spinning Disc on Rotating Earth

arXiv:1210.6435

Abstract

This paper considers the motion control of a particle and a spinning disc on rotating earth. The equations of motion are derived using Lagrangian mechanics. Trajectory planning is studied as an optimization problem using the method referred to as Discrete Mechanics and Optimal Control.
