The Toroidal Wheel Dynamics
E. Vinteler
Received December 1, 2024

   Abstract. The dynamics of the toroidal wheel with loaded mass that rolls without slipping is studied. The reduced equations of motion for a dynamic system of dimension five, depending on three angular rates, the leaning angle and the rolling angle, are derived. The dynamic system is controlled by the tilt and throttle torque.

Key words: Toroidal wheel, non-holonomic systems, rigid body dynamics.
