    Planning motion of rolling surfaces

    No full text
    Rolling between rigid surfaces in space is a well-known nonholonomic system, whose mathematical model has some interesting features that make it a paradigm for the study of some very general systems. It also turns out that the nonholonomic features of this system can be exploited in practical devices with some appeal for engineers. However, in order to achieve all potential benefits, a greater understanding of these rather complex systems and more practical algorithms for planning and controlling their motions are necessary. In this paper, we will consider some geometric and control aspects of the problem of arbitrarily displacing and reorienting a body which rolls without slipping among other bodies

    Solar Power in the Garden State

    No full text
    This special issue on energy and solar power in New Jersey was made possible because of the extensive portfolio of research centers and institutes at the Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy. Dr. Frank A. Felder, an Associate Research Professor, has been director of the School’s Center for Energy, Economic & Environmental Policy (CEEEP) since 2006. Frank is a nuclear engineer with a PhD degree from MIT, and he, along with his CEEEP colleague, Shankar N. Chandramowli, coauthored the main article in this issue of the Advance & Rutgers Report. CEEEP has worked extensively with the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities on projects, including New Jersey’s current Energy Master Plan.Shining Brightly: Bloustein's Centers of Excellence / by James W.
