Formation Control of Underactuated Marine Vehicles with Communication Constraints

چکیده
In this paper, we propose a nonlinear coordination control scheme for formation control of a group of underactuated marine vehicles with communication topology constraints. In particular, we propose decentralized control laws for coordinated path following of marine vehicles with sparse communication networks. The topology of the communication network is captured in the framework of graph theory and the proposed control scheme is applicable to communication networks with both bidirectional and unidirectional communication links.

Coordinated path-following of multiple underactuated autonomous vehicles with bidirectional communication constraints
This paper addresses the problem of steering a group of underactuated autonomous vehicles along given spatial paths, while holding a desired inter-vehicle formation pattern. For a general class of vehicles moving in either two or threedimensional space, we show how Lyapunov-based techniques and graph theory can be brought together to yield a decentralized control structure where the dynamics of...
متن کاملMotion Coordination of Thrust-Propelled Underactuated Vehicles in the Presence of Communication Delays
This paper addresses the coordinated control problem of underactuated thrustpropelled vehicles in the presence of irregular communication delays under a directed communication graph topology. We propose a distributed control algorithm that drives the vehicles to a prescribed formation provided that the communication graph contains a spanning tree. Using the multi-dimensional small-gain approach...
متن کاملControl Properties of Underactuated
This paper studies control properties of the dynamics of underactuated vehicles (e.g. underactuated surface vessels, underwater vehicles, aeroplanes or spacecraft). The unactuated dynamics implies constraints on the accelerations. Both the necessary and suucient conditions for these constraints to be second-order nonholonomic, rst-order nonholonomic or holonomic are developed. It is shown that ...
متن کاملA Packet Loss Compliant Logic-Based Communication Algorithm for Cooperative Path-Following Control
We introduce an event driven communication logic for decentralized control of a network of robotic vehicles (agents). The strategy proposed is robust to packet losses and drives the vehicles to predefined paths while holding a desired geometric formation pattern. To this effect, the paper extends an existing cooperative path following framework to consider the practical case where communication...
متن کاملPlanning and Control of Planar Underactuated Marine Vehicles Subject to Linear and Quadratic Drag
This paper tackles the combined problem of trajectory planning and tracking control of planar underactuated marine vehicles with different dynamic models. A reference feasible trajectory for the position and orientation is planned so as to be consistent with each of the three dynamic models. Using these reference values the dynamics of the vehicles is transformed to the error one. Partial state...
