A Basic Mechanical and Geometric Framework for Quasi-Static Manipulation
Domenico Campolo, Franco Cardin
In this work, we propose a geometric framework for analyzing mechanical manipulation, for instance, by a robotic agent. Under the assumption of conservative forces and quasi-static…
On the Pontryagin Maximum Principle under differential constraints of higher order
Franco Cardin, Cristina Giannotti, Andrea Spiro
Exploiting our previous results on higher order controlled Lagrangians in [Nonlinear Anal. {\bf 207} (2021), 112263], we derive here an analogue of the classical first order Pontry…
Control problems with differential constraints of higher order
Franco Cardin, Cristina Giannotti, Andrea Spiro
We consider cost minimising control problems, in which the dynamical system is constrained by higher order differential equations of Euler-Lagrange type. Following ideas from a pre…
