“…In contrast with coordinated control of integrator or linear dynamic system, attitude coordinated control of multiple rigid bodies is more complex and challenging due to the intrinsic nonlinearity of the attitude dynamics. In addition, attitude coordinated control of multiple rigid bodies can be applied to a number of applications including cooperative observation or monitoring of multiple satellites, long baseline interferometry of multiple spacecraft, surveillance and rescue missions of multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) 9‐13 …”

“…In addition, attitude coordinated control of multiple rigid bodies can be applied to a number of applications including cooperative observation or monitoring of multiple satellites, long baseline interferometry of multiple spacecraft, surveillance and rescue missions of multiple unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). [9][10][11][12][13] It is well known that different parameterizations can be used to describe the attitude of a rigid body. For instance, the Euler angle and modified Rodrigues parameters (MRPs) are developed in the Euclidean space and regarded as minimal representations to describe the attitude dynamics, while these parameterizations have the singularity problem at certain angles.…”

In this article, the leader-following attitude tracking problem is considered for a group of rigid bodies, and a distributed control algorithm is proposed with global exponential stability on the rotational orthogonal group SO(3). In particular, we consider that only a subset of followers has access to the leader's trajectory, and a semi-global exponential distributed observer is first proposed for each follower to estimate the leader's trajectory. Then, we introduce the shifted reference attitude of the leader to circumvent the topological obstruction on SO(3), and a combined distributed observer algorithm is developed by synthesizing different reference attitude trajectories. By constructing two Lyapunov functions, it is demonstrated that the leader's trajectory can be accurately estimated by the proposed distributed observer with exponential convergence. Next, an observer-based attitude tracking control algorithm is synthesized, which is continuous in time but is discontinuous with respect to initial conditions. It is shown that the trajectory of the leader can be tracked by all followers with global exponential stability on SO(3). Finally, numerical simulation examples are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed control algorithms.

“…A fixed-time state observer is developed in [21] to estimate the angular velocity of spacecraft. [20] proposed an observer free control framework for the unmeasurable angular velocity. Nevertheless, it might be challenging to design an output feedback controller with attitude pointing constraints.…”

<p style='text-indent:20px;'>An output feedback control law is proposed in this paper for spacecraft attitude reorientation task. Although attitude maneuver has been widely investigated and obtained significant results, it is still challenging when considering attitude pointing constraints and lacking the information of angular velocity. Firstly, potential function is introduced to tackle attitude pointing constraints. Then, by jointly designing sign function and potential function, the anti-unwinding performance can also be achieved. Furthermore, the relevant information of angular velocity is obtained by utilizing first-order passive filter with the attitude error quaternion. Moreover, by properly selecting candidate Lyapunov function, the feasibility of attitude constraints can be rigorously proved under the proposed control law, while the stability of the system can be guaranteed without signal of angular velocity and information of inertia matrix. A numerical example is carried out to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.</p>
