| Abstract |
The rectilinear motion of a two-body system is considered. One of the bodies (the main body) interacts with a resistive environment, while the other body (the internal body) interacts with the main body but does not interact with the environment. The force applied to the internal body leads to a reaction that acts on the main body and produces a change in its velocity, which causes a change in the resistance of the environment to the motion of the main body. Thus, by controlling the motion of the internal body, one can control the external force acting on the main body and, as a consequence, the motion of the entire system. A periodic motion of the internal body relative to the main body, which generates the motion of the main body with periodically changing velocity and the maximum displacement for the period, is constructed for a wide class of laws of resistance of the environment to the motion of the main body.
The principle of motion considered is appropriate for mobile mini- and micro-robots. The body (housing) of such robots can be hemetically sealed and smooth, without protruding parts, which enables these robots to be used for the non-destructive inspection of miniature engineering structures such as thin pipe-lines, as well as in medicine. Problems of optimizing the control modes for such systems are of interest both to researchers in the field of optimal control and to specialists in applied mechanics and robotics. |
