Abstract
In the present chapter we focus on a special subclass of nonlinear control systems, which can be called mechanical nonlinear control systems. Roughly speaking these are control systems whose dynamics can be described by the Euler-Lagrangian or Hamiltonian equations of motion. It is well-known that a large class of physical systems admits, at least partially, a representation by these equations, which lie at the heart of the theoretical framework of physics.
