DESCRIPTION:Andrew Lewis\nQueen's University\nDifferential geometry has bee
 n successfully applied to nonlinear\ncontrol theory\, resulting in geometr
 ic control theory which was\nborn in the mid 1960's. Around that same time
 \, differential\ngeometric methods were systematically applied to the form
 ulations\nof classical mechanics. In the mid 1990's these two areas of\nre
 search were fused with the result that significant advances were\nmade in 
 the control theory for mechanical systems. This continues\nto be an active
  area of research today. This talk will be a survey\nof some of the advanc
 es in the area. The emphasis will be on the\naffine connection formulation
  of mechanics\, and the application of\nthis formulation to problems in co
 ntrol theory. The control\ntheoretic problems discussed will include contr
 ollability (the\nstudy of states reachable\, using controls\, from an init
 ial state)\,\nmotion planning (the design of control laws to steer a syste
 m from\none state to another)\, and stabilisation (the conversion of an\nu
 nstable state into a stable state using feedback). No background\nin contr
 ol theory will be assumed.\n
