Abstract
A class of nonholonomic control systems in extended power form is studied. It is demonstrated that under appropriate assumptions Lagrange's equations, including classical nonholonomic constraints, can be transformed into the extended power form. A switched mode feedback controller is used to obtain global convergence of the states of the extended power form to the origin. This feedback controller can be interpreted as a hybrid system consisting of a high level discrete event supervisor and a family of low level feedback controllers. The closed loop system exhibits finite-time responses.
