....is the main driver behind the control design presented in this paper. This can not be achieved using a coordinate dependent control system: to achieve this goal, we will operate directly in the configuration manifold of the helicopter. The tracking on manifolds problem is solved in [60] for fully actuated mechanical systems. In the following we present an extension, for achieving asymptotic (locally exponential) tracking of trajectories for a particular class of underactuated mechanical systems. An approximation of the helicopter model can be shown to be in this class: the ....

All the elements of SO(3) can be described by a fixed axis r, corresponding to the single real eigenvector, and an angle of rotation , which can be derived from the complex conjugate eigenvalues. As a measure of the magnitude of the group error ffiR, that is the distance between the ....

....controllable on an open set W if the following two conditions hold: i) in each discrete state i, every bad symmetric product is a linear combination of lower order good symmetric products (ii) the rank of Lie( # i#I Sym i (Y i ) q) is full for all q # W . This statement is proven in [4]. The proof relies on two facts. First, by (i) the system in each regime is equilibrium controllable if restricted to the maximal integral manifold of the distribution Lie(Sym i (Y i ) q) In other words, we can reach any configuration on this submanifold and we can reach it at zero velocity. ....
