This article surveys mobility patterns and mobility models for wirelss networks. Mobility
patterns are classified into the following types: pedestrians, vehicles, aerial, dynamic …

The optimal control of a mechanical system is of crucial importance in many application
areas. Typical examples are the determination of a time-minimal path in vehicle dynamics, a …

The equations of motion of a controlled mechanical system subject to holonomic constraints
may be formulated in terms of the states and controls by applying a constrained version of …

For periodic gait optimization problem of the bipedal walking robot, a class of global and
feasible sequential quadratic programming algorithm (FSQPA) is proposed based on …

This paper focuses on the issue of minimum-fuel rendezvous between an active chaser
satellite with continuousthrust capability and a passive target satellite. It is first formalized as …

Kinodynamic planning of tensegrity robots is a thorny problem, and there are few works that
have been reported on this subject, especially for tensegrity manipulators. In this study, a …

This work presents a novel approach to minimizing delta-v for spacecraft swarm
reconfiguration through refinement of the real or virtual chief spacecraft orbit, which is a …

The optimal control of physical processes is of crucial importance in all modern
technological sciences. In general, one is interested in prescribing the motion of a dynamical …

This paper focuses on the issue of minimum-fuel deployment for satellite formation flying.
We address it as an optimal control problem, the necessary optimality conditions of which …

This paper investigates the optimal control of loose leader-following spacecraft formations
near libration points. The formation reconfigurations and keepings can be applied at the …
