Unicycles and Bifurcations∗
A model of balancing upright on a unicycle has pitchfork and Hopf bifurcations, and describes riders from novice to expert with both good and not-so-good reactions.
متن کاملPursuit formations of unicycles
In this paper, the stability of equilibrium formations for multiple unicycle systems in cyclic pursuit is studied in detail. The cyclic pursuit setup is particularly simple in that each unicycle i pursues only one other unicycle, unicycle i + 1 (modulo n), where n is the number of unicycles. This research is principally motivated by the historical development of pursuit problems found in the ma...
متن کاملOn the Control of Self-Balancing Unicycles
This paper discusses the problem of designing a self-balancing unicycle where pedals are used for both power generation and speed control. After developing the principal physical aspects (in the longitudinal dimension), we describe an abstract model in the form of a collection of hybrid automata, together with design requirements to be met by an ideal controller. We discuss simplifications and ...
متن کاملIntersection representations of matrices by subtrees and unicycles on graphs
Consider a 0-1 matrix M(i,j) with columns C={c1, c2,..., cm}, and rows R, or – equivalently – a hypergraph M(R,C) having M as its adjacency matrix (where R are the vertices and C are the hyperedges). Denote ri={cj| cj∈C and M(i,j)=1}. We consider the following two problems: (a) Is there a graph H, with vertex set C, such that every vertex subgraph H(ri) of H is a tree and the intersection of ev...
متن کاملRendezvous of Unicycles with Continuous and Time-Invariant Local Feedback
In this paper, a local feedback control strategy is devised to drive a group of nonholonomic unicycle-type vehicles to a rendezvous point. The proposed control law is continuous and time-invariant. Using tools from graph theory, convergence and ultimate boundedness properties of the overall system are examined. Similar to the results for the rendezvous problem for vehicles governed by linear dy...
