ACA-LOS: Path-Normal Current-Aware Adaptive Guidance for Coverage-Lane Keeping of Unmanned Surface Vehicles

To address sustained deviation from coverage lanes when an unmanned surface vehicle (USV) executes a complete boustrophedon coverage path under current disturbances, this study proposes an adaptive current-aware line-of-sight (ACA-LOS) guidance method based on online current estimation. The local current is estimated o...

An Adaptive Fixed-Time Line-of-Sight Guidance Scheme for 3D Path Following of Underwater Vehicles: Theory and Experiment

Reliable path tracking is crucial for autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) operating in dynamic and uncertain marine environments. However, traditional line-of-sight (LOS) guidance methods rely on asymptotic convergence, resulting in slow disturbance recovery and unpredictable tracking performance. Existing robust con...

Response-Tunable Adaptive LOS-Based Guidance for Depth-Tracking Control of Underactuated AUVs in the Presence of Time-Varying Disturbances

Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) have been extensively employed in diverse marine applications, where depth-tracking control remains a critical technical challenge. Although previous studies have investigated various guidance law designs for underactuated AUVs, compensation for the attack-angle effect induced by h...

Comparative Analysis of Geometric Path Following and Nonlinear Control Strategies for UAV

This research presents a comparative study of three geometric path-following guidance algorithms: Carrot Chasing (CC), Pure Pursuit Line of Sight (PLOS), and Nonlinear Guidance Law (NLGL) implemented within a hierarchical UAV autopilot framework using a Backstepping (BKS) control approach. The study aims to evaluate an...

MOOS-IvP/ArduSub-Based AUV Three-Dimensional Path-Following Control System: Design and Implementation

To fulfill the requirements for rapid development of high-performance AUV motion control systems, a three-dimensional (3D) path- following control system is designed and implemented based on the MOOS-IvP/ArduSub architecture. Using Lyapunov stability theory, an adaptive line-of-sight (ALOS) guidance law with variable l...

Homogeneity-based fixed-time path following control for unmanned surface vehicles with uncertainties and asymmetric actuator saturation

This paper proposes a novel Adaptive Nonsingular Fixed-Time Path Following Control scheme for underactuated unmanned surface vehicles navigating under unknown uncertainties, environmental disturbances, and asymmetric input saturation constraints. The main contribution is the integration of a Fixed-Time Line-of-Sight gu...
