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.
