“…Brockett's theorem [1] states that nonholonomic systems can not be stabilized by continuously differentiable, timeinvariant state feedback control laws. In fact, nonholonomic mechanical systems can not be asymptotically stabilized to a single equilibrium using any control method that employs smooth, or even continuous, time-invariant feedback [2]. Various solutions have been proposed, usually classified as piecewise continuous feedback [2], [3], time-varying feedback [4]- [8], discontinuous feedback [9]- [11] and hybrid/switching control strategies [12], [13].…”
