Guidance of Unmanned Surface Vehicles: Experiments in Vehicle Following [PDF]
IEEE Robotics & Automation Magazine, 2012 Virtual target-based path-following techniques are extended to execute the task of vehicle following in the case of unmanned surface vehicles (USVs). Indeed, vehicle following is reduced to the problem of tracking a virtual target moving at a desired range from a master vessel, while separating the spatial and temporal constraints, giving priority to ...

Supervisory switching control of an unmanned surface vehicle [PDF]
OCEANS 2015 - MTS/IEEE Washington, 2015 A novel method to determine the switching of controllers to increase the performance of a system is presented. Three controllers are utilized to capture three behaviors representative of unmanned surface vehicles (USVs). An underactuated nonlinear controller is derived to transit the vehicle between locations; a fully-actuated nonlinear controller is ...
