This paper presents a guidance law design for synchronized path following of multiple underactuated unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) without using a global reference velocity. Firstly, a distributed observer is proposed to eliminate the need of reference velocity known to all the vehicles. Secondly, a line-of-sight based guidance law is derived to force each vehicle to follow a parameterized path...
The paper addresses the problem of steering a group of underactuated marine surface vehicles along one parameterized path, while the path variables of the vehicles are uniformly dispersed between those of two virtual leaders. This problem arises for example when multiple marine surface vehicles are required to track the same path to avoid obstacles and dangerous areas, or to reduce the workload of...
Unlike the traditional dynamic positioning of single marine surface vessel, a local cooperative control scheme is proposed to achieve the dynamic positioning of multiple offshore vessels and rigs subject to the influence of persistent ocean disturbances through a connected communication network. Cooperative dynamic positioning controllers are developed with the aid of a dynamic surface control technique...
