Source abstract
A trajectory tracking control method based on the cascade of optimal guidance and adaptive control laws was proposed for trajectory tracking of an unmanned surface vehicle under multiple motion constraints including an ocean current disturbance environment. Considering the velocity and acceleration constraints, angular velocity, and angular acceleration constraints in guidance law design, motion planning was conducted with three degrees of freedom using a motion model and predictive control, while optimal guidance law was designed through a rolling optimization strategy to stabilize the position error under multiple constraints. Moreover, the stability of the guidance law was proven. In control law design, an adaptive observer was introduced to estimate and compensate for ocean current disturbance, which affected the precision of control. The course and velocity control laws were designed with the adaptive sliding mode control technology to stabilize the course angle and longitudinal velocity errors; the stability of these control laws was further proven. Based on the system design, the stability of the entire closed-loop control system was proven with the cascade system and Lyapunov theory. Theoretical analysis and simulation experiments demonstrated the effectiveness and advancement of the proposed algorithm.
