It consists of contributed chapters representing new  developments in this area. Contributors to the book include robotics  engineers, nonlinear control experts, differential geometers and  applied mathematicians. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eNonholonomic Motion Planning\u003c\/em\u003e is arranged into three chapter  groups: \u003cem\u003eControllability\u003c\/em\u003e: one of the key mathematical tools  needed to study nonholonomic motion. \u003cem\u003eMotion Planning for Mobile  Robots\u003c\/em\u003e: in this section the papers are focused on problems with  nonholonomic velocity constraints as well as constraints on the  generalized coordinates. \u003cem\u003eF\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cem\u003ealling Cats, Space Robots and Gauge  Theory\u003c\/em\u003e: there are numerous connections to be made between  symplectic geometry techniques for the study of holonomies in  mechanics, gauge theory and control. In this section these connections  are discussed using the backdrop of examples drawn from space robots  and falling cats reorienting themselves. \u003cbr\u003e  \u003cem\u003eNonholonomic Motion Planning\u003c\/em\u003e can be used either as a reference  for researchers working in the areas of robotics, nonlinear control  and differential geometry, or as a textbook for a graduate level  robotics or nonlinear control course. \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-10-30\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781461363927\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-4615-3176-0\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 448\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer US","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44398545698956,"sku":"9781461363927","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781461363927.jpg?v=1775709085","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781461363927","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
