Formation Path Following Control of Underactuated USVs -- With Proofs (2011.05021v1)

Published 10 Nov 2020 in eess.SY and cs.SY

Abstract: This paper proposes a formation control method for two underactuated unmanned surface vessels (USVs) to follow curved paths in the presence of ocean currents. By uniting a line-of-sight (LOS) guidance law and the null-spacebased behavioral control (NSB) framework, we achieve curved path following of the barycenter, while maintaining the desired vessel formation. The closed-loop dynamics are investigated using cascaded systems theory, and it is shown that the closed-loop system is USGES and UGAS, while the underactuated sway dynamics remains bounded. Both simulation and experimental results are presented to verify the theoretical results.
