The controlled motion of a rolling ball actuated by internal point masses that move along arbitrarily-shaped rails fixed within the ball is considered. The controlled equations of motion are solved numerically using a predictor-corrector continuation method, starting from an initial solution obtained via a direct method, to realize trajectory tracking and obstacle avoidance maneuvers.

Keywords: Optimal control, rolling ball robots, trajectory tracking, obstacle avoidance, predictor-corrector continuation.

Figure 1. A ball of radius $ r $ and mass $ m_0 $ rolls without slipping on a horizontal surface in the presence of a uniform gravitational field of magnitude $ g $. The ball's geometric center, center of mass, and contact point with the horizontal surface are denoted by GC, $ m_0 $, and CP, respectively. The spatial frame has origin located at height $ r $ above the horizontal surface and orthonormal axes $ \mathbf{e}_1 $, $ \mathbf{e}_2 $, and $ \mathbf{e}_3 $. The body frame has origin located at the ball's center of mass (denoted by $ m_0 $) and orthonormal axes $ \mathbf{E}_1 $, $ \mathbf{E}_2 $, and $ \mathbf{E}_3 $. The ball's motion is actuated by $ n $ point masses, each of mass $ m_i $, $ 1 \le i \le n $, and each moving along its own rail fixed inside the ball. The $ i^\mathrm{th} $ rail is depicted here by the dashed hoop. The trajectory of the $ i^\mathrm{th} $ rail, with respect to the body frame translated to the GC, is denoted by $ {\boldsymbol{\zeta}}_i $ and is parameterized by $ \theta_i $. All vectors inside the ball are expressed with respect to the body frame, while all vectors outside the ball are expressed with respect to the spatial frame
