In this article, we extended the concept of controllability, traditionally used to control the final state of a system, to the exact control of its final speed. Inspired by Kalman’s theory, we have established some conditions to characterize the control that allows the system to reach a desired final speed exactly. When the assumptions ensuring speed-controllability are not met, we adopt a regulation strategy that involves determining the control law to make the system’s final speed approach as closely as possible to the predefined final speed, and this at a lower cost. The theoretical results obtained are illustrated through three examples.
