Abstract
This paper considers the problem of controlling the rotational motion of an axi-symmetric rigid body using two independent control torques without angular velocity measurements. The control law which stabilizes asymptotically this motion is obtained only in terms of the orientation parameters. Global asymptotic stability is shown by applying LaSalle invariance principal. Numerical simulation is introduced.
