Symmetries and Local Controllability

In this paper we review some results concerning the local controllability of nonlinear control systems. We stress those results which are most closely related to the existence of certain symmetries, including results by the authors and H. J. Sussmann. We also comment on the relation between this work and generalizations of Lie group theory to semigroups and Lie wedges.
