This paper describes the application of differential flatness techniques from nonlinear control theory to mechanical (Lagrangian) systems. Systems which are differentially flat have several useful properties which can be exploited to generate effective control strategies for nonlinear systems. For the special case of mechanical control systems, much more geometric information is present and the purpose of this paper is to explore the implications and features of that class of systems. We concentrate on several worked examples which illustrate the general theory and present a detailed catalog of known examples of differentially flat mechanical systems.
