Reduction Theorems for Hybrid Dynamical Systems
Manfredi Maggiore, Mario Sassano, Luca Zaccarian
This paper presents reduction theorems for stability, attractivity, and asymptotic stability of compact subsets of the state space of a hybrid dynamical system. Given two closed se…
A coordinate-free theory of virtual holonomic constraints
Luca Consolini, Alessandro Costalunga, Manfredi Maggiore
This paper presents a coordinate-free formulation of virtual holonomic constraints for underactuated Lagrangian control systems on Riemannian manifolds. It is shown that when a vir…
A Smooth Distributed Feedback for Global Rendezvous of Unicycles
Ashton Roza, Manfredi Maggiore, Luca Scardovi
This paper presents a solution to the rendezvous control problem for a network of kinematic unicycles in the plane, each equipped with an onboard camera measuring its relative disp…
Local and Distributed Rendezvous of Underactuated Rigid Bodies
Ashton Roza, Manfredi Maggiore, Luca Scardovi
This paper solves the rendezvous problem for a network of underactuated rigid bodies such as quadrotor helicopters. A control strategy is presented that makes the centres of mass o…
Control of a Bicycle Using Virtual Holonomic Constraints
Luca Consolini, Manfredi Maggiore
The paper studies the problem of making Getz's bicycle model traverse a strictly convex Jordan curve with bounded roll angle and bounded speed. The approach to solving this problem…
Reduction Principles and the Stabilization of Closed Sets for Passive Systems
Mohamed I. El-Hawwary, Manfredi Maggiore
In this paper we explore the stabilization of closed invariant sets for passive systems, and present conditions under which a passivity-based feedback asymptotically stabilizes the…
