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 ...
