A cyber-physical system (CPS) is composed of tightly-integrated computation,
communication and physical elements. Medical devices, buildings, mobile devices, robots …

Distributed finite-time attitude containment control for multiple rigid bodies is addressed in
this paper. When there exist multiple stationary leaders, we propose a model-independent …

This note investigates the finite-time attitude control problems for a single spacecraft and
multiple spacecraft. First of all, a finite-time controller is designed to solve finite-time attitude …

Analytical Mechanics of Space Systems by Hanspeter Schaub and John Junkins is a
comprehensive treatment of a stimulating and challenging subject that is both old and new …

The problem of fixed-time attitude tracking control for rigid spacecraft is addressed in this
paper. Based on the backstep** technique and the idea of “adding a power integrator”, a …

In this paper we extend our previous results on coordinated control of rotating rigid bodies to
the case of teams with heterogeneous agents. We assume that only a certain subgroup of …

The authors present an approach for constructing optimal feedback control laws for
regulation of a rotating rigid spacecraft. They employ the inverse optimal control approach …

This paper investigates the fixed-time attitude tracking control problem for rigid spacecraft
with input quantization and external disturbances. A novel fixed-time disturbance observer is …

In this paper we establish passivity for the system which describes the attitude motion of a
rigid body in terms of minimal three-dimensional kinematic parameters. In particular, we …

The global finite-time attitude stabilization problem for a rigid spacecraft system is
investigated. The actuator saturation is explicitly taken into account in the proposed finite …
