This paper deals with the problem of a spherical robot propelled by an internal omniwheel platform and rolling without slipping on a plane. The problem of control of spherical robot …
In this paper, the motion of a spherical robot rolling on a generic surface is considered. The motion equations are derived in matrix form using a Lagrangian approach, and quaternions …

Numerous mobile robotic applications require agents to persistently explore and exploit spatiotemporally varying, partially observable environments. Ultimately, the mathematical …
In this paper, the rolling stability of a power-generating tumbleweed rover is investigated. The nonlinear equations of motion of the rover capture the nonholonomic nature of rolling …
