The paper deals with the control of a series of carts, free to move along parallel guides, which can be dragged by the first one (i.e., by the only actuated cart). The goal is the design of a control law that lets all the carts, which are subject to nonsmooth, unilateral impacts, asymptotically move along the guides at an assigned, common velocity. The problem is solved by a very simple control law, and the properties of the controlled system, which are analytically proven, are confirmed by some simulation results that are reported and discussed in the paper.

Abstract
The paper deals with the control of a series of carts, free to move along parallel guides, which can be dragged by the first one (i.e., by the only actuated cart). The goal is the design of a control law that lets all the carts, which are subject to nonsmooth, unilateral impacts, asymptotically move along the guides at an assigned, common velocity. The problem is solved by a very simple control law, and the properties of the controlled system, which are analytically proven, are confirmed by some simulation results that are reported and discussed in the paper.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
