Abstract

The fact that two antipodal points in the quaternion characterize the same physical attitude depicts that the design of the global attitude control system is uneasy. This study deals with a smooth quaternion-based attitude tracking control system that is composed of a differential equation known as the augmented dynamical system. The augmented dynamical system plays such an important role that it is possible to conduct a novel perspective on viewing the set containing all possible motions as not a manifold. Therefore, the topological obstruction does not exist. The designed attitude tracking control system has a guarantee of stability in the large within a set containing all possible motions. It is able to avoid the unwinding phenomenon, and it is noise-induced chattering-free since there is no discontinuity. Furthermore, we show that the smooth attitude tracking control system has an integral input-to-state stability (iISS) guarantee in the presence of uncertainties in the moment of inertia and environmental disturbance. Simulations carried out show the effectiveness of the designed attitude tracking control system.
