  • Abstract
    We followed-up a suggestion from Bullo and Lewis concerning the importance of geometric homogeneity for mechanical systems, that shows the controllability results for a large class of mechanical systems with drift can be recovered by considering a class of nonlinear dynamical systems satisfying certain homogeneity conditions.
