Robust Control of an Underactuated Surface Vessel with Thruster Dynamics
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper a continuous periodic time-varying feedback law is proposed that exponentially stabilizes both the position and orientation of a surface vessel having only two actuators. To this end, a stability result for a class of homogeneous time-periodic systems is presented. The exponential stability provided by the proposed feedback law does not depend on exact knowledge of the model parameters, and is thus robust to model parameter uncertainty. The surface vessel model considered is nonlinear and describes both the dynamics and the kinematics of the surface vessel. Furthermore the actuator dynamics is included in the control design. Simulation results are presented.

Backstepping Technique for tracking control of an underactuated surface vessel with unmeasured thruster dynamic
We consider in this paper the tracking control problem of an underactuated surface vessel moving on the horizontal plane. A reference feasible trajectory for the position and orientation of the surface vessel is planned so that it is consistent with vehicle dynamics. Using these reference values the dynamics of the vehicle is transformed to the error cascade structure. The proposed controller i...

In this paper, an adaptive nonlinear tracking controller for an underactuated nonminimum phase model of a marine vehicle is derived. The result is kept flexible enough, throughout its derivation, to be applicable to a large variety of marine vehicles. The characteristics of the dynamic model are such that solving the tracking problem is non-trivial. Specifically, we consider a propulsion system...
متن کاملStraight Line Path Following for Formations of Underactuated Surface Vessels under Influence of Ocean Currents
The problem of path following and formation control for underactuated 3-degrees-of-freedom surface vessels in the presence of unknown ocean currents is considered. The proposed controllers make the vessels asymptotically constitute a desired formation that follows a given straight-line path with a desired speed profile. This control goal is achieved in the presence of currents of unknown direct...
متن کاملRobust control of a remotely operated underwater vehicle
Underwater remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) play an important role in a number of shallow and deepwater missions for marine science, oil and gas extraction, exploration and salvage. In these applications, the motions of the ROV are guided either by a human pilot on a surface support vessel through an umbilical cord providing power and telemetry, or by an automatic pilot. In the case of automat...
متن کاملTracking for Nonlinear Underactuated Surface Vessels with Generalized Forces
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 t...
