Adaptive Formation Control for Underactuation multi-USVs with Jointly Connected Switching Typologies
TL;DR: Revised Version
Abstract: This paper investigates the adaptive formation control problem for underactuation Multiply Unmanned Surface Vehicles (multi-USVs) connected by the jointly connected switching typologies. First, the distributed switching observer is devised for each USV to estimate the trajectory signal under the jointly connected switching typologies. Secondly, the underactuation controllers are designed based on the estimated trajectory signal under backstepping structure. In the form of the designed underactuated controller, we have proven through Lyapunov stability theory that each unmanned vessel is able to track the predetermined trajectory. In the end, we validate the effectiveness of the proposed method through numerical simulations.
