When one variable in a system moves in a periodic fashion, motion of the whole object can result. This property can be used for control purposes; the position and attitude of a satellite, for example, are often controlled by periodic motions of parts of the satellite, such as spinning rotors. One of the geometric tools that has been used to describe this phenomenon is that of connections. Geometric mechanics, currently in a period of rapid evolution, has been used, for example, to design stabilizing feedback control systems in attitude dynamics. Theory is also being developed for systems with rolling constraints such as those found in a simple rolling wheel. This paper explains how some of these tools of geometric mechanics are used in the study of motion control and locomotion generation. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0868.00063].
