      The paper deals with feedback stabilization of nonholonomic systems of the form \[ \dot\xi= \sum^m_1 f_i(\xi)v_i, \] where \(f_i\) are linearly independent smooth vector fields in \(\mathbb{R}^n\). The authors introduce a set of pseudo-Lyapunov functions called guiding functions which allow to construct the feedback so that the sum of these Lyapunov functions decrease along the solution. Some applications in motion control are given.
