Nonlinearity of dynamics and kinematics, difficulty in stability guarantee and unwinding phenomenon problem make quaternion-based attitude control system design is a non trivial problem. The non triviality is increase in the design of attitude consensus of rigid bodies in a group. This paper provides a distributed controller that depends on information-state for attitude consensus among a group of rigid bodies. The controller is developed based on continuous quaternion-based attitude controller composing augmented dynamic. The designed attitude consensus has global motion to rest and rest to rest maneuver properties. Simulation run verifies that unwinding phenomenon can be avoided.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
