Abstract
Sufficient conditions involving Lie brackets of arbitrarily high-order are

obtained for local controllability of families of vector fields. After

providing a general framework for the generation of high-order control

variations, a specific method for generating such variations is proposed.

The theory is applied to a number of nontrivial examples.
