Motion control of drift-free, left-invariant systems on Lie groups

Abstract
In this paper we address the constructive controllability problem for drift-free, leftinvariantsystems on finite-dimensional Lie groups with fewer controls than state dimension.We consider small (ffl) amplitude, low-frequency, periodically time-varying controls andderive average solutions for system behavior. We show how the pth-order average formulacan be used to construct open-loop controls for point-to-point maneuvering of systems thatrequire up to (p \Gamma 1) iterations of Lie...
