Rolling pseudo-Riemannian submanifolds
 
 
Description:  We present an overview about rolling motions, subject to non-slip and non-twist constraints, of manifolds which are embedded in pseudo-Riemannian manifolds. Within this general framework, we analyze the individual cases of rolling of pseudo-hyperbolic spaces and quadratic Lie groups. We address the controllability issue of rolling motions. We also apply rolling techniques to solve smooth interpolation problems on manifolds.
