review text: In the sub-Riemannian geometry, the shape of small balls is described by the so-called ball-box theorem. But, as it is well-known, the ball-box theorem does not give a uniform description for the small sub-Riemannian balls covering a sub-Riemannian manifold. Consequently, it does not allow us either to compute Hausdorff measures and dimensions or to prove the convergence of certain motion planning algorithms. The author succeeded in proving a generalization of the box-ball theorem. More exactly, he gives a description of the shape of small sub-Riemannian balls depending uniformly on their center and their radius. The proof is based, on the one hand, on a lifting method which replaces the sub-Riemannian manifold by an extended equiregular one (with no singular points), where the box-ball theorem is uniform; and, on the other hand, it is based on an estimate of sets defined by families of vector fields, which allows him to project the balls in suitable coordinates.
