Parallel Docking Problem for Unmanned Surface Vehicles
2018 15th International Conference on Control, Automation, Robotics and Vision (ICARCV), 2018In this paper, parallel docking (parallel parking) problem for unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) is investigated. A mathematical model for an USV is constructed and a hierarchical control approach is implemented on this 6 degree-of-freedom model. At the control allocation level of the hierarchy, parameters of finite horizon model predictive controller ...

Path-following control for Unmanned Surface Vehicles
2017 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS), 2017This paper introduces two well-accepted path-following control methods, namely Vector Field Method (VF) and Line-Of-Sight Method (LOS) for Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USVs). We provide a comprehensive study of each algorithm, which includes investigating their mathematical origins, performing simulation evaluations and carrying out real-world field ...

Research on Course Control of Unmanned Surface Vehicle
2020The unmanned surface vehicle (USV) system has the characteristics of large inertia, long time delay and under-actuated, the traditional linear control method is not robust enough to achieve course control. Therefore, a course controller of USV has been proposed based upon the fuzzy control theory in this paper.

Guidance, Navigation and Control of Unmanned Surface Vehicles
at - Automatisierungstechnik, 2015Abstract In this paper, a framework for guidance, navigation and control of marine vehicles is proposed. The focus is on application of unmanned surface vehicle for performing high accuracy measuring tasks. The desired maneuvering path is defined as a combination of standard path sections and delivered to the guidance system.

Robust obstacle detection for unmanned surface vehicles
MIPPR 2017: Remote Sensing Image Processing, Geographic Information Systems, and Other Applications, 2018Obstacle detection is of essential importance for Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USV). Although some obstacles (e.g., ships, islands) can be detected by Radar, there are many other obstacles (e.g., floating pieces of woods, swimmers) which are difficult to be detected via Radar because these obstacles have low radar cross section.

Basic navigation, guidance and control of an Unmanned Surface Vehicle
Autonomous Robots, 2008This paper discusses the navigation, guidance and control (NGC) system of an Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV) through extended at sea trials carried out with the prototype autonomous catamaran Charlie. In particular, experiments demonstrate the effectiveness, both for precision and power consumption, of extended Kalman filter and simple PID guidance and ...

Spatial correlation for unmanned surface vehicles
2005 IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society International Symposium, 2005The paper considers multi-sensor communications between low profile boats, such as unmanned surface vehicles (USVs), in a rough sea environment. We derive the expression of spatial correlation coefficients between two antennas, which is important in designing the configuration of multi-sensor systems.
