Abstract
A locomotion system is considered in the form of a chain of a finite number of bodies (materi along points) moving in a straight line on a horizontal rough plane due to the forces of interaction between the bodies. These forces serve as the control variables. Dry Coulomb friction acts between the bodies and the plane. The necessary and sufficient conditions are obtained under which the nonreversible motion of all bodies of the system for the same distance is possible under the assumption that in the initial and final positions the velocities of all bodies are equal to zero. Nonreversible motion is understood as a motion in which none of the bodies changes the direction of their velocity in the process of moving.
