Abstract

This paper is devoted to the motion planning problem of nonholonomic robotic systems whose kinematics are represented by a driftless control system with outputs. The motion planning problem is defined in terms of the inversion of the end-point map of the system, that may be accomplished by a Jacobian algorithm. The Lagrangian Jacobian inverse is introduced and examined, and a corresponding Lagrangian Jacobian motion planning algorithm is designed. Performance of this algorithm is illustrated by solving a motion planning problem for the rolling ball.
