A course of 10 lectures will be devoted to introduction to geometric control theory and its applications. We will consider problems of controllability, optimal control, and sub-Riemannian geometry, and their applications in mechanics, robotics, vision and image processing, probability. The course is intended for university students in mathematics or physics (starting from the 3-rd year) and PhD students. Preliminary knowledge of control theory is not required.

Financial support. The course is supported by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation (the grant to the Steklov International Mathematical Center, Agreement no. 075-15-2022-265).
