Abstract: Due to underactuation, the states of nonholonomic systems cannot be steered toward any direction of the state space. This note takes unicycles as an example and demonstrates a new idea of control design for nonholonomic systems. More precisely, we apply state transformation technique and external dynamic oscillator, and convert an underactuated nonholonomic unicycle into a fully-actuated and linearizable one. A control law, capable of tracking and stabilization uses, is then constructed. The tradeoff therein is that the tracking/stabilization errors can only be steered into the neighborhood of the origin rather than converging to zero. Numerical simulations are carried out to validate the proposed control scheme.
