First, we recall the classical approach by constructing the controlling vector fields and their Lie brackets. Next we modify the coordinate system in order to obtain a nilpotent approximation of the controlling distribution. This is based on the notions of sub-Riemannian geometry. The third model is based on serpenoid curve and maintains the global control task %K robotic snake %K local control %U http://siba-ese.unisalento.it/index.php/notemat/article/view/17178
