A reduced-order distributed observer approach to attitude consensus of multiple rigid spacecraft systems
He Gao Cai, Jie Huang · 2013
Recently, we developed a distributed observer approach to study the leader-following consensus problem for multiple rigid spacecraft systems [3]. In this paper, we will further develop a reduced-order distributed observer approach to study the same problem. The proposed approach significantly reduces the orders of the control law and improves the transient response of the closed-loop system.
