Abstract:
A class of mechanical systems is studied and a notion of equivalence is introduced. More generally, one identifies whenever a given system is state equivalent to some subdynamics of an other system. This property plays a crucial role to control large complex mechanical systems as walking robots. Copyright © 2007 IFAC.
