rolling polyhedra, that is studied in Sections II, III, and IV, followed by the introduction of broader definitions and a system theoretical discussion in Section V. The case study is relevant for applications such as manipulation of industrial parts, and illustrates the discrete-time, discrete-input counterpart of traditional nonholonomic systems. This study of the rolling polyhedron results in a classification of the struc-
ture of the reachable set in relation with the geometry of the polyhedron and a method to steer the polyhedron to any reachable configuration. The case study is then used for generalizations of the classical notion of nonholonomy to discrete and hybrid systems. Examples are illustrating these generalizations.
