This book explores connections between control theory and geometric mechanics. The author links control theory with a geometric view of classical mechanics in b

The area of analysis and control of mechanical systems using differential geometry is flourishing. This book collects many results over the last decade and prov

Nonholonomic systems are a widespread topic in several scientific and commercial domains, including robotics, locomotion and space exploration. This work sheds

Three main disciplines in the area of multibody systems are covered: kinematics, dynamics, and control, as pertaining to systems that can be modelled as couplin

Since the 1950s control theory has established itself as a major mathematical discipline, particularly suitable for application in a number of research fields,
