Quasivelocities and Optimal Control for Underactuated Mechanical Systems

preprint2010arXivOpen access

Abstract

This paper is concerned with the application of the theory of quasivelocities for optimal control for underactuated mechanical systems. Using this theory, we convert the original problem in a variational second-order lagrangian system subjected to constraints. The equations of motion are geometrically derived using an adaptation of the classical Skinner and Rusk formalism.
