Event-Triggered Policy to Spacecraft Attitude Stabilization With Actuator Output Nonlinearities

This brief investigates event-triggered control for spacecraft attitude stabilization under the influence of actuator output nonlinearities. Under a designed event-triggered policy, the influences of actuators' inherent nonlinearity and network quantized transmission are evaluated under a unified framework. Compared with the previous results, the influences of data transmission and actuators' inherent nonlinearities are uniformly described as the actuator output nonlinearities, and the event-triggered policy reduces the effects of constants commonly introduced into triggering conditions on the final state convergence regions and achieves Zeno-free triggering. Simulations verify theoretical results.
