Tracking for Nonlinear Underactuated Surface Vessels with Generalized Forces
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes how to use backstepping to develop control laws to perform trajectory tracking for a nonlinear, underactuated surface vessel. The research extends earlier backstepping designs for underactuated vessels by explaining how to select outputs when generalized forces act on the vessel. The resulting control law can correct orientation errors to track linear trajectories and can track arcs of circles with a fixed offset. The paper provides detailed derivations along with simulation results to illustrate the approach.

Nonlinear Tracking of Underactuated Surface Vessels
In this paper a control law for tracking of underactu-ated surface vessels is presented. Optimal trajectories for surface vessels are given as combinations of arcs of circles and line segments. It is shown how optimal trajectories can be made smooth by a technique called splines, and how these trajectories can be stabilized by backstepping. The control law depends on that the forward velocity o...
متن کاملTime-Invariant State Feedback Control Laws for a Special Form of Underactuated Nonlinear Systems Using Linear State Bisection
Linear state bisection is introduced as a new method to find time-invariant state feedback control laws for a special form of underactuated nonlinear systems. The specialty of the systems considered is that every unactuated state should be coupled with at least two directly actuated states. The basic idea is based on bisecting actuated states and using linear combinations with adjustable parame...
متن کاملTracking and regulation control of an underactuated surface vessel with nonintegrable dynamics
In this note, a continuous, time-varying tracking controller is designed that globally exponentially forces the position/orientation tracking error of an underactuated surface vessel to a neighborhood about zero that can be made arbitrarily small [i.e., global uniformly ultimately boundedness (GUUB)]. The result is facilitated by fusing a filtered tracking error transformation with the dynamic ...

For a class of second order underactuated mechanical systems, a robust finite time control strategy is developed in this paper. The robust finite time controller is to drive the tracking error to be zero at the fixed final time. In order to assure system stability, we present a generalized Lyapunov stability proof for the second order underactuated mechanical system. By utilizing a Lyapunov sta...
