  Abstract:   Sub-Riemannian (also known as Carnot-Carathéodory) spaces are spaces whose metric structure may be viewed as a constrained geometry, where motion is possible only along a given set of directions, changing from point to point. They play a central role in the general program of analysis on metric spaces, while simultaneously continuing to figure prominently in applications from other scientific disciplines ranging from robotic control and planning problems to MRI function, to new models of neurobiological visual processing and digital image reconstruction.
