Abstract

We present and analyze kinematic-level and dynamic-level feedback control algorithms for single agent attitude control and multi-agent attitude consensus on SO(3). The kinematic-level algorithms yield attitude feedback controls that are piecewise-continuous sinusoidal angular velocities. The dynamic-level algorithms yield attitude feedback controls that are relative angles of rotational-mass actuators, which are continuous but only piecewise continuously differentiable sinusoids. Furthermore, the dynamic-level algorithms are designed to accommodate actuator stroke constraint. We present application of the dynamic-level control algorithms to attitude control and consensus of small-satellites.
