contents The modified Rodrigues parameters (MRP) consist of two numerically different triplets that, by switching between them, yield a minimal globally non-singular attitude description with advantageous properties. The MRP space results from the Alexandroff compactification of the three-dimensional Euclidean space and is a double cover of $\mathrm{SO(3)}$. By capitalizing on instrumental properties of the covering map, this paper proposes a novel hybrid dynamic path-lifting mechanism to unambiguously and robustly extract the MRP from the attitude space. This hybrid solution allows applying an MRP-based feedback controller to the attitude dynamics in the base space while preserving its asymptotic and exponential stability properties. Furthermore, by profiting from the distinct characteristics of the MRP, the resulting interconnection is impervious to the unwinding phenomenon. The design and validation of an MRP-based controller exemplify the application of the proposed algorithm alongside the novel results for equivalence of stability between spaces. The solution renders the attitude space tracking dynamics robustly globally exponentially stable, demonstrating the potential of this novel methodology.
