Path-following Control of Fully-actuated Surface Vessels in the Presence of Ocean Currents
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper addresses the problem of driving a surface vessel along a desired spatial path. A nonlinear adaptive controller is designed that yields convergence of the trajectories of the closed loop system to the path in the presence of constant unknown ocean currents and parametric model uncertainty. Controller design builds on Lyapunov based techniques and backstepping. The controller derived implicitly compensates for the effect of the ocean current without the need for direct measurements of its velocity. An illustrative simulation example is presented and discussed. Copyright c © 2007 IFAC

Straight 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 کاملDesign of an Intelligent Controller for Station Keeping, Attitude Control, and Path Tracking of a Quadrotor Using Recursive Neural Networks
During recent years there has been growing interest in unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Moreover, the necessity to control and navigate these vehicles has attracted much attention from researchers in this field. This is mostly due to the fact that the interactions between turbulent airflows apply complex aerodynamic forces to the system. Since the dynamics of a quadrotor are non-linear and the ...
متن کاملCooperative Path-following of Multiple Surface Vessels with Parametric Model Uncertainty and in the Presence of Ocean Currents
This paper addresses the problem of cooperative path-following of multiple autonomous vehicles. Stated briefly, the problem consists in steering a group of vehicles along specified paths, while keeping a desired spatial formation arrangement. For a given class of autonomous surface vessels, it is shown how Lyapunov based techniques and graph theory can be brought together to design a decentrali...
متن کامل2D Path Following for Marine Craft: A Least-Square Approach
We study the problem of straight-line path following for fully actuated marine craft. We propose a controller that adjusts the speed of the marine craft according to the geometric distance and the rate of convergence to the path. The control law is derived using the method of least squares, which is used to find an approximate solution for overdetermined systems. The conditions under which the ...
متن کاملA Distributed Framework Design for Formation Control of Under-actuated USVs in the Presence of Environmental Disturbances Using Terminal Sliding Mode Control
This paper proposes a distributed framework for formation control of USVs around a predefined target. This framework, according to the mission and problem conditions, includes three parts: determination of a desired path for each USV, preventing USVs entry to the target area and tracking the desired path of USVs under environmental disturbances. In the first part, a distributed approach is prop...
