Introduction
A motion planning task in robotics and related domains is to steer an object from its initial location \(\pmb{q}_0=\pmb{q}(0)\) to a goal point \(\pmb{q}_f=\pmb{q}(T)\) [3, 7]. The task is particularly difficult when the number of controls is smaller than the dimensionality of a state space. In this paper the class of driftless nonholonomic systems is considered. The systems are described by
where \(\pmb{q}\) is a configuration, \(\pmb{g}_i\), i = 1, ...,m, are generators (smooth enough vector fields) of system (13.1), and \(\pmb{u}\) denote controls.
