contents In this letter, we derive minimum-energy controls for a broad class of control-affine systems using a Lagrange multiplier fixed-point equation and a generally non-symmetric Gramian-like matrix. In feasible coercivity classes, this fixed point is unique and can be computed by standard Picard iteration. These iterates converge with factorial decay, yielding an implementable, highly scalable synthesis with an intrinsic energy bound. As a demonstration of concept, we use uniform complete controllability results for linear time-varying systems to derive a bracket-generating condition ensuring complete controllability for time-dependent planar control-affine systems with scalar inputs. Special treatment for the unicycle kinematic model is also provided, and numerical examples illustrate the approach's effectiveness.
