We show that, using a switched periodic controller, we can "incrementally track" integral curves of certain Lie brackets of the drift and controlled vector fields for the ball and beam. This allows us to design a sliding mode controller which overcomes the problems associated with singular states and results in effective global tracking of large motions of the ball.
