This paper presents a new adaptive sliding mode control (SMC) framework for quadrotors that achieves robust and agile flight under tight computational constraints. The proposed controller addresses key limitations of prior SMC formulations,…
This paper addresses the leader-following attitude consensus problem for a group of spacecraft when at least one follower can access the leader's attitude and velocity relative to the inertial space. A nonlinear distributed observer is…
Attitude tracking on the unit sphere of dimension $3$ based on sliding mode is considered in this paper. The tangent bundle of Lagrangian dynamics that describes the rotational motion of a rigid body is first shown to be a Lie group, and…
This paper proposes a novel unit-quaternion observer-based controller for attitude tracking (attitude and angular velocity) with guaranteed transient and steady-state performance. The proposed approach is computationally cheap and can…
A global model is presented that can be used to study attitude maneuvers of a rigid spacecraft in a circular orbit about a large central body. The model includes gravity gradient effects that arise from the non-uniform gravity field and…
In this paper, we investigate the attitude tracking problem of uncertain flexible spacecraft systems subject to external disturbances. In sharp contrast to existing results, the dynamics of flexible spacecraft systems and external…
This paper discusses the design and the performance achievable with active aerodynamic attitude control in very low Earth orbit, i.e. below 450 km in altitude. A novel real-time algorithm is proposed for selecting the angles of deflection…
The global attitude synchronization problem is studied for networked rigid bodies under directed topologies. To avoid the asynchronous pitfall where only vector parts converge to some identical value but scalar parts do not, multiplicative…
The existing attitude controllers (without angular velocity measurements) involve explicitly the orientation (\textit{e.g.,} the unit-quaternion) in the feedback. Unfortunately, there does not exist any sensor that directly measures the…
Closed-loop attitude steering can be used to implement a non-standard attitude maneuver by using a conventional attitude control system to track a non-standard attitude profile. The idea has been employed to perform zero-propellant…
Chandrayaan-3 mission achieved a historic milestone with its successful soft landing near the lunar south pole, highlighting the critical role of the navigation, guidance, and control (NGC) system. Navigation provided vehicle state…
This paper introduces a novel attitude controller for spacecraft subject to actuator saturation and multiple exclusion cone constraints. The proposed solution relies on a two-layer approach where the first layer prestabilizes the system…
Modeling the kinematics and dynamics of robotics systems with suspended loads using dual quaternions has not been explored so far. This paper introduces a new innovative control strategy using dual quaternions for UAVs with cable-suspended…
This paper considers the prescribed performance control (PPC) of spacecraft attitude tracking under multiple physical constraints, focusing on the robust issues. A novel Barrier Lyapunov function is proposed to realize the…
A novel modular modeling and control framework based on Lagrangian mechanics is proposed for multibody systems, motivated by the challenges of modular control of systems with closed kinematic chains and by the need for a modeling framework…
It is quite often claimed, and correctly so, that linear methods cannot achieve global stability results for attitude control, and conversely that nonlinear control is essential in order to achieve (almost) globally stable tracking of…
This paper presents a novel approach for robust periodic attitude control of satellites. Respecting the periodicity of the satellite dynamics in the synthesis allows to achieve constant performance and robustness requirements over the…
This paper addresses the modeling and attitude control of jumping quadrupeds in low-gravity environments. First, a convex decomposition procedure is presented to generate high-accuracy and low-cost collision geometries for quadrupeds…
Aerial manipulators (AM) exhibit particularly challenging, non-linear dynamics; the UAV and the manipulator it is carrying form a tightly coupled dynamic system, mutually impacting each other. The mathematical model describing these…
This paper presents global tracking strategies for the attitude dynamics of a rigid body. It is well known that global attractivity is prohibited for continuous attitude control systems on the special orthogonal group. Such topological…
