چکیده

A 3 degrees of freedom (surge, sway, and yaw) nonlinear controller for path following of marine craft using only two controls is derived using nonlinear control theory. Path following is achieved by a geometric assignment based on a line-of-sight projection algorithm for minimization of the cross-track error to the path. The desired speed along the path can be specified independently. The control laws in surge and yaw are derived using backstepping. This results in a dynamic feedback controller where the dynamics of the uncontrolled sway mode enters the yaw control law. UGAS is proven for the tracking error dynamics in surge and yaw while the controller dynamics is bounded. A case study involving an experiment with a model ship is included to demonstrate the performance of the controller and guidance systems. Copyright c °2003 IFAC.

On uniform semiglobal exponential stability (USGES) of proportional line-of-sight guidance laws

This paper presents a uniform semiglobal exponential stability (USGES) proof for a class of proportional line-of-sight (LOS) guidance laws used for vehicle path-following control. The LOS guidance law under consideration is a lookahead-based guidance law for marine craft. The USGES proof extends previous results that only guarantee global κ-exponential stability. Typical applications are marine...

Path following of underactuated marine surface vessels using line-of-sight based model predictive control

This paper presents a model predictive control (MPC) for a way-point tracking of underactuated surface vessels with input constraints. A three-degree-of-freedom dynamic model of surface vessels has been used for the controller design. In order for the control action to render good helmsman behavior, a MPC scheme with line-of-sight (LOS) path generation capability is formulated. Quadratic progra...

Finite-Time Observer Based Guidance and Control of Underactuated Marine Vehicles with Time-Varying Large Sideslip and Disturbances

Suffering from complex sideslip angles, path following control of an underactuated marine vehicle (UMV) becomes significantly challenging and remains unresolved. In this paper, a finite-time observer based guidance and control (FOGC) scheme for path following of an UMV with time-varying and large sideslip angles and unknown external disturbances is proposed. The salient features of the proposed...

2D 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 ...

Analysis of hydrofoil craft in regular and irregular waves

In this article, the most important specifications of hydrofoil floats, i.e. their seakeeping under regular and irregular waves under different encounter angles of wave, has been investigated. Numerical simulation has been done using STAR CCM+ software. Surge, heave, roll and pitch motions are kept free at the same time and their effects on each other are taken into account. USV01 model, whose ...
