Virtual Nonholonomic Constraints: A Geometric Approach
Virtual constraints are invariant relations imposed on a control system via feedback as opposed to real physical constraints acting on the system. Nonholonomic systems are mechanical systems with non-integrable constraints on the velocities. In this work, we introduce the notion of virtual nonholonomic constraints in a geometric framework. More precisely, it is a controlled invariant distribution associated with an affine connection mechanical control system. We demonstrate the existence and uniqueness of a control law defining a virtual nonholonomic constraint and we characterize the trajectories of the closed-loop system as solutions of a mechanical system associated with an induced constrained connection. Moreover, we characterize the dynamics for nonholonomic systems in terms of virtual nonholonomic constraints, i.e., we characterize when can we obtain nonholonomic dynamics from virtual nonholonomic constraints.

Geometric Stabilization of Virtual Nonlinear Nonholonomic Constraints
In this paper, we address the problem of stabilizing a system around a desired manifold determined by virtual nonlinear nonholonomic constraints. Virtual constraints are relationships imposed on a control system that are…
Stable Walking for Bipedal Locomotion under Foot-Slip via Virtual Nonholonomic Constraints
Foot slip is a major source of instability in bipedal locomotion on low-friction or uncertain terrain. Standard control approaches typically assume no-slip contact and therefore degrade when slip occurs. We propose a con…
Geometric PID Controller for Stabilization of Nonholonomic Mechanical Systems on Lie Groups
The PID controller is an elegant and versatile controller for set point tracking in double integrator systems of which mechanical systems evolving on Euclidean space constitute a large class. But since mechanical systems…
Point TrackingLearning the Rolling Penny Dynamics
We consider learning the dynamics of a typical nonholonomic system -- the rolling penny. A nonholonomic system is a system subject to nonholonomic constraints. Unlike a holonomic constraints, a nonholonomic constraint do…
Nonholonomic Narrow Dead-End Escape with Deep Reinforcement Learning
Nonholonomic constraints restrict feasible velocities without reducing configuration-space dimension, which makes collision-free geometric paths generally non-executable for car-like robots. Ackermann steering further im…
