Abstract
This paper presents a survey of recent combinatorial results arising i n the study of nonholonomic control systems. It addresses the question of deciding whether a system is controllable or not. Basic concepts i n differential geometric control theory are first introduced and illus trated through the classical example of a multibody mobile robot. We t hen summarize recent results obtained on polynomial systems.
