  • Abstract
    We present a control algorithm to control underactuated mechanical systems that evolve in the configuration space with the fiber bundle structure. We show that by using the geometric tools such as symmetric product and small amplitude periodic forcing, we can develop unique techniques to control the underactuated dynamic system, such as an unmanned blimp.
