On the Control of the Trajectory of M-block

摘要

We consider impulsive dynamics of a cubic case with a rotor. When the rotor stops abruptly via brakes, its energy is transferred to the case [1]. The subsequent motion is caused by the impulsive reaction of the ground and depends essentially on the orientation of the rotor axle relative to the case. The simplest case where the axle is parallel to an edge was studied in [2], here this analysis is extended to such configurations, where the rotor is slightly inclined to the horizon. It is shown that such modification makes possible to move the block along a curved pass. Varying the inclination angle, one can change the curvature of the trajectory and ensure the controllable motion of the system.
