ABSTRACT. We consider control-affine systems with n - 1 inputs evolving on an n-dimensional manifold for which the distribution spanned by the control vector fields is involutive and of constant rank. We provide a complete classification of such generic systems and their oneparameter families. We show that a generic family for n > 2 is equivalent (with respect to feedback and orbital feedback transformations) to one of nine canonical forms which differ from those for n = 2 by quadratic terms only. We also describe all generic bifurcations of 1-parameter families of systems of the above form.
