| contents | This paper presents a geometric control framework on the Lie group SO(3) for 3D source-seeking by robots with first-order attitude dynamics and constant translational speed. By working directly on SO(3), the approach avoids Euler-angle singularities and quaternion ambiguities, providing a unique, intrinsic representation of orientation. We design a proportional feed-forward controller that ensures exponential alignment of each agent to an estimated ascending direction toward a 3D scalar field source. The controller adapts to bounded unknown variations and preserves well-posed swarm formations. Numerical simulations demonstrate the effectiveness of the method, with all code provided open source for reproducibility. |
