We propose a 12-dimensional, global, continuous, and exponentially convergent observer for gyro bias and attitude of a rigid body. Any attitude observer developed on the special orthogonal group suffers from the topological restriction that…

A hybrid observer is described for estimating the state of a system of the form dot x=Ax, y_i=C_ix, i=1,...,m. The system's state x is simultaneously estimated by m agents assuming agent i senses y_i and receives appropriately defined data…
