Design and control of the nonholonomic manipulator.

Nonholonomic constraints are exploited to design a controllable n-joint manipulator with only two inputs. Gears subject to nonholonomic constraints are designed to transmit velocities from the inputs to the passive joints. The system possesses a triangular structure for which a conversion into chain...
