A mathematical model is developed for a rolling robot with a cylindrically-shaped, elliptical outer surface that has the ability to alter its shape as it rolls, resulting in a torque imbalance that accelerates or decelerates the robot. A control scheme is implemented, whereby angular position and angular velocity are used as feedback to trigger and define morphing actuation. The goal of the control is to direct the robot to follow a given angular velocity profile. Equations of motion for the rolling robot are formulated and solved numerically. Results show that by automatically morphing its shape in a periodic fashion, the rolling robot is able to start from rest, achieve constant average velocity and slow itself in order to follow a desired velocity profile with significant accuracy.

Abstract Integrated ring laser gyroscopes are perfect candidates for small-sized and high-performance gyroscopes. However, the performance of the ring laser gyroscope (RLG) near zero angular velocity is fundamentally restricted by the mode locking effect. In the paper the magneto-optical ring resonator is studied as a sensitive element of the integrated RLG. The counter-propagating waves are generated at the same frequency for resonator at rest and are spatially split. It is shown that the spatial splitting of modes in such a resonator drastically suppresses the mode locking problem even at the near zero angular velocity.
