Abstract
A new control method for underactuated nonlinear systems called a variable constraint control (VCC) is proposed. In this control method the first integral obtained by adding control constraints is used as an invariant manifold. The results are applied to the posture control problems of free flying robots and relations between convergence of the control and structural parameters of robots are discussed
