Cooperative Time-Varying Formation Fuzzy Tracking Control of Multiple Heterogeneous Uncertain Marine Surface Vehicles
Abstract:
This article addresses the cooperative time-varying formation fuzzy tracking control problem for a cluster of heterogeneous multiple marine surface vehicles subject to unknown nonlinearity and actuator failures. The proposed cooperative control scheme consists of two parts: 1) a distributed time-varying formation observer and 2) a decentralized adaptive fuzzy tracking controller. The distributed observer is designed to obtain a predefined time-varying formation pattern under a directed communication topology. Subsequently, based on the states of the distributed observer, a decentralized fuzzy tracking control law is developed using fuzzy-logic systems and the adaptive approach. Lyapunov functions are constructed to guarantee that the controlled marine vehicles attain the desired time-varying formation with asymptotical stability of tracking errors. Finally, simulation results are presented to validate the efficacy of the proposed control methodology.
