  • Abstract
    The local path following problem for time-varying nonlinear control affine systems is addressed and sufficient conditions for its solution are found by transforming it in a constrained nonlinear control problem on a suitable manifold. In case of Chaplygin-type systems, a very simple condition and a dynamic inversion generator of the control are exhibited. The developed theory has been applied to the kinematic models of planar and aerial vehicles.
