Abstract We propose a tracking control law for the fully actuated rigid body system in the presence of any unknown constant disturbance by employing quaternions with the stable embedding technique and Lyapunov stability theory. The stable embedding technique extends the attitude dynamics from the set of unit quaternions to the set of quaternions, which is a Euclidean space, such that the set of unit quaternions is an invariant set of the extended dynamics. Such a stable extension of the system dynamics to a Euclidean space allows us to employ well studied Lyapunov techniques in Euclidean spaces such as LaSalle– Yoshizawa’s theorem. A robust tracking control law is proposed for the attitude dynamics subject to unknown constant disturbance and the convergence properties of the tracking control law is rigorously proven. It is demonstrated with the help of numerical simulations that the proposed control law has a remarkable performance even in some challenging situations.

1 Introduction The attitude dynamics and the control of a rigid body encounter the unique challenge that the configuration space of attitudes cannot be globally identified with a Euclidean space [7]. More specifically, the attitude representations such as the three-dimensional special orthogonal group SO(3) that is composed of 3 × 3 orthogonal matrices with the determinant of one [6, 7] or the set of unit quaternions S3 encounter * Dong Eui Chang [email protected] Wonshick Ko [email protected] Karmvir Singh Phogat [email protected] Nicolas Petit nicolas.petit@mines‑paristech.fr 1

the same challenge that they cannot be globally identified with a Euclidean space. Therefore, the controller design and the stability analysis of systems on manifolds require sophisticated differential geometric tools which are often difficult to comprehend for ordinary engineers. An alternative to such cumbersome approaches is to stably embed the system dynamics on manifolds into Euclidean spaces [2] and then design controllers in these ambient Euclidean spaces. Moreover, the controller designed on the ambient space has a global representation in contrast to a local chartwise representation [1, 2, 5]. In this article, we employ the stable embedding technique to design a robust track
