The control functions correspond to the freedom of choosing the rolling curve. The nonholonomic constraints are imposed by the no-slip and no-twist conditions on the rolling. These systems are proved to be controllable in some submanifold of the group of isometries of the space where the two rolling manifolds are embedded. The constructive proof of controllability is also addressedengGrassmann manifoldLie group of isometriesrolling motionsno-slip, no-twistLie algebrasbracket generating propertycontrollabilityjournal article
