So-called robot–object Lagrangian systems consist of a class of nonsmooth underactuated
complementarity Lagrangian systems, with a specific structure: an “object” and a “robot” …

Control of an inverted pendulum is a classical example of the stabilisation problem
pertaining to systems that are unstable by nature. The reaction wheel and the motor act as …

Underactuated systems, such as the double inverted pendulum (DIP) on a cart, are widely
used in various applications such as anthropomorphic robot design, assistive robotics, slosh …

In this paper, we discuss a solution strategy for an overdetermined ODE system that uses
elliptic functions. In particular, we show how an apparently ill-posed ODE system can be …

Remote magnetic manipulation offers wireless control over magnetic objects, which has
important medical applications, such as targeted drug delivery and minimally invasive …

This paper presents a novel bio-inspired “tail” design that harnesses aerodynamic drag to
generate torque for robotic balancing. Drawing inspiration from the natural world, this …

The 3D Cubli is an interesting underactuated mechatronics system that has reaction wheels
mounted on three of its faces and can balance on its corner or edge by applying controlled …

The integration of sensor fusion techniques has played a crucial role in the advancement of
the contemporary robot applications era. This is primarily due to the fact that numerous robot …
