Controllability and motion planning for noncatastatic nonholonomic control systems

A motion planning problem for a class of noncatastatic nonholonomic control systems is considered. Under appropriate controllability assumptions we determine an open loop control function which steers the system from a specified initial state to a specified final state over a specified time interval. The method is based on combining second order averaging technique and a finite-dimensional root finding technique.
