Abstract We address the problem of robust attitude determination using a static approach. In contrast to the dynamic approach, a static approach does not depend on the system dynamics. This approach only requires measurements of some vectors, such as the earth magnetic field, sun vector, etc in two different coordinate frames. These vectors, obtained from some sensor or a mathematical model, may not be accurate due to sensor errors and modeling inaccuracies. We consider all such errors as infinity-norm bounded uncertainties and our main focus is to obtain an attitude estimate, which is least sensitive to such uncertainties. We formulate a robust optimization (RO) problem with a quadratic cost and nonlinear constraints and propose a solution using a quaternion approach with an affine uncertainty parameterization. We transform the RO problem into a suboptimal minimization problem, which is non-convex but can be solved with a good initial guess using a nonlinear optimization solver. The results show a significant advantage of the proposed approach for the worst case uncertainties.
