Rolling of a body on a plane or a sphere: a geometric point of view
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 17 April 2009
Extract
A pair of bodies rolling on each other is an interesting example of nonholonomic systems in control theory. Here the controllability of rolling bodies is investigated with a global approach. By using simple geometric facts, this problem has been completely solved in the special case where one of them is a plane or a sphere.
