Lizarralde and Wen: Attitude Control without Angular Velocity Measurement

Attitude Control without Angular Velocity Measurement: A Passivity Approach

It is well known that the linear feedback of the quar-ternion of the attitude error and angular velocity globally stabilizes the attitude of a rigid body. In this note, we show that the angular velocity feedback can be replaced by a nonlinear lter of the quaternion, thus removing the need of direct angular velocity measurement. In contrast to other approaches, this design exploits the inherent ...

Hybrid attitude tracking of rigid bodies without angular velocity measurement

In this paper we address the problem of output-feedback attitude control of a rigid body in quaternion-coordinate space through a hybrid (switching) PD+ based tracking controller; we establish stability for all initial values in a compact subset which may be arbitrarily enlarged by increasing the control gains. Assumptions used in the literature such as supposing that the initial states lay in ...

Attitude Stabilization Using Modified Rodrigues Parameters without Angular Velocity Measurements

The optimal stabilization of a rigid body motion without angular velocity measurements is considered with the help of three internal rotors that effected by internal frictions. In this paper, the orientation of the body will be described in terms of the Modified Rodrigues parameters (MRPs). The optimal control law which stabilizes asymptotically this motion and minimizes the require like-energy...

Dynamic Modeling for Earth – Pointing Satellites to Control the Three – axis Attitude without the Attitude Information of One Axis

Various methods are presented to control the attitude of satellite due to lack of information of yaw axis attitude so far.&#10In this paper, a new method is used which is more general and is applicable to all types of satellites, with at least one controller. &#10This method is not limited to YAW axis and can control the two other axes as well. One feature of this approach is the ability to be ...
