Geometric Control of Mechanical Systems: Modeling, Analysis, and Design for Simple Mechanical Control Systems by Francesco Bullo
English | PDF | 2005 | 741 Pages | ISBN : 1441919686 | 171.56 MB
The primary emphasis of this book is the modeling, analysis, and control of mechanical systems. The methods and results presented can be applied to a large class of mechanical control systems, including applications in robotics, autonomous vehicle control, and multi-body systems. The book is unique in that it presents a unified, rather than an inclusive, treatment of control theory for mechanical systems. A distinctive feature of the presentation is its reliance on techniques from differential and Riemannian geometry.
