Abstract
A state estimation scheme that does not depend on the statistical distribution of bounded measurement noise is presented. This scheme is used to provide state estimates for feedback in an attitude tracking control scheme that exhibits almost global asymptotically stable tracking of a desired attitude trajectory with perfect state measurements. The control and estimation schemes use the global, unique representation of rigid body attitude provided by rotation matrices. Attitude and angular velocity state estimate updates are obtained from discrete multi-rate measurements using a deterministic filtering scheme. Propagation of discrete state estimates is carried out with a Lie group variational integrator, which preserves the orthogonality of rotation matrices during numerical propagation without reprojection. This integrator is also used to numerically simulate the feedback system. The performance of this attitude tracking control scheme is then compared with that of a recently reported quaternion observer-based continuous feedback attitude tracking scheme. This quaternion-based attitude tracking scheme is shown to exhibit unstable, unwinding behavior. Numerical
