This paper analyzes optimal control problems with linear time-varying dynamics defined on a smooth manifold in addition to mixed constraints and pure control *** main contribution is the identification of sufficient conditions for the optimal controls to be non-singular,which enables exact(or lossless)convex relaxations of the control *** problem is analyzed in a geometric framework using a recent maximum principle on manifolds,and it is shown that strong observability of the dual system on the cotangent space is the key *** minimum time problems are analyzed and solved.A minimum fuel planetary descent problem is then analyzed and relaxed to a convex *** enables its efficient solution in less than one second without any initial guess.

Most studies of droplet impact on liquid pools focus on droplet diameters up to the capillary length (0.27 cm). We break from convention and study extremely large water droplets (1 to 6 cm diameter) falling into a pool of water. We demonstrate that the depth and width of the cavity formed by large droplet impact is greatly influenced by the deformed shape of the droplet at impact (i.e., prolate, spherical, and oblate), and larger droplets amplify this behavior by flattening before impact. In particular, the maximum cavity depth is a function of the Froude number and axis ratio of the droplet just before impact. Further, the cavity depth is more dependent on the droplet height than width, and the maximum cavity diameter is independent of the droplet height. In general, we observe that more oblate droplets result in decreasing cavity depths for a fixed liquid volume. This is because an increase in horizontal droplet diameter results in a reduced impact energy flux and therefore reduced cavity depth.
Recent advances in Large Language Models (LLMs) have permitted the development of language-guided multi-robot systems, which allow robots to execute tasks based on natural language instructions. However, achieving eff...

In this paper, a novel mathematical framework is introduced for modeling deformation behavior of Tendon-Driven Continuum Manipulators (TD-CMs) featuring discontinuous cross-sectional geometries (i.e., having flexural patterns). Leveraging this framework, we also introduce the concept of design space by which the deformation-behavior space of a TD-CM can intuitively be analyzed via its geometrical design parameters. To thoroughly evaluate the performance of the proposed modeling framework, we have conducted various simulation studies and experiments.
One of the grand goals in robotics is to develop a versatile robot capable of executing a wide array of tasks based on language instructions. These tasks often involve long-horizon manipulation due to the complexity o...
