Abstract: In this article, we consider the rolling (or development) of two Riemannian connected manifolds (M,g) and (hatM,hatg) of dimensions 2 and 3 respectively, with the constraints of no-spinning and no-slipping. The present work is a continuation of cite{MortadaKokkonenChitour}, which modelled the general setting of the rolling of two Riemannian connected manifolds with different dimensions as a driftless control affine system on a fibered space Q, with an emphasis on understanding the local structure of the rolling orbits, i.e., the reachable sets in Q. In this paper, the state space Q has dimension eight and we show that the possible dimensions of non open rolling orbits belong to the set 2,5,6,7. We describe the structures of orbits of dimension 2, the possible local structures of rolling orbits of dimension 5 and some of dimension 7.


The present paper is the first part of a geometrical study of controllability issues associated with the rolling under constraints of non-spinning and non-slipping of two smooth connected and oriented Riemannian manifolds $(M, g)$ and $(M', g')$ of dimensions $n=2$ and $n'=3$ and of Riemannian curvature tensors $R$ and $R'$ respectively. The considerations of the authors are based on the theory of differentiable manifolds and Lie algebras and interesting controllability results are obtained.
