A mechanical system is driven by a set of servo controls. The motion of the system is subject to a set of constraints at any time. The controls are the only means to realize the constraints. This is the essence of the servo constraint problem, which is rarely studied in Analytical Mechanics. We prop

Mechanical systems possibly containing non-holonomic constraints are considered. The problem of stabilizing the motion of the system along a given manifold of its phase space is solved. A control law which does not involve the dynamical parameters of the system is constructed. The law is universal,
A method of realizing unilateral constraints by introducing a small parameter into the kinetic energy, such that the kinetic energy of the system degenerates on a certain manifold in configuration space when the parameter is equal to zero, is considered. The behaviour of the system in the neighbourh
