Recently worldwide interest is growing toward commercial, military or scientific Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV) and hence there is required to develop their guidance, navigation, and control (GNC) systems. Real USVs are a relatively new…

Experimental testing of an unmanned surface vehicle (USV) has been performed to evaluate the performance of two low-level controllers when displacement and drag properties are time-varying and uncertain. The USV is a 4.3 meter long, 150…

A multi-unmanned surface vessel (USV) formation control system is established on a novel platform composed of three 1.2 meter-long hydraulic jet propulsion surface vessels, a differential GPS reference station, and inter-vessel Zigbee…

For active intervention tasks in underwater environments, the use of autonomous vehicles is just now emerging as an active area of research. During operation, for various reasons, the robot might find itself on a collision course with an…

In this article, a simplified modeling and system identification procedure for yaw motion of an unmanned surface vehicle (USV) is presented. Two thrusters that allow for both speed and direction control propel the USV. The outputs of the…

Switching control strategies that unite a potentially high-performance but uncertified controller and a stabilizing albeit conservative controller are shown to be able to balance safety with efficiency, but have been less studied under…

Field trials of a 4 meter long, 180 kilogram, unmanned surface vehicle (USV) have been conducted to evaluate the performance of station-keeping heading and position controllers in an outdoor marine environment disturbed by wind and current.…

Uncrewed Surface Vehicles (USVs) are a popular and efficient type of marine craft that find application in a large number of water-based tasks. When multiple USVs operate in the same area, they may be required to dock to each other to…

We present the design and validation of a centralized controller, called a supervisor, for collision avoidance of multiple human-driven vehicles at a road intersection, considering measurement errors, unmodeled dynamics, and uncontrolled…

We study a control architecture for nonlinear constrained systems that integrates a performance-boosting (PB) controller with a scheduled Predictive Safety Filter (PSF). The PSF acts as a pre-stabilizing base controller that enforces state…

This paper presents an intelligent controller for uncertain underactuated nonlinear systems. The adopted approach is based on sliding mode control and enhanced by an artificial neural network to cope with modeling inaccuracies and external…

Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USVs) play a pivotal role in various applications, including surface rescue, commercial transactions, scientific exploration, water rescue, and military operations. The effective control of high-speed unmanned…

This paper presents a new predictive second order sliding controller (PSSC) formulation for setpoint tracking of constrained linear systems. The PSSC scheme is developed by combining the concepts of model predictive control (MPC) and second…

This study addresses the challenge of achieving real-time Universal Self-Learning Control (USLC) in nonlinear dynamic systems with uncertain models. The proposed control method incorporates a Universal Self-Learning module, which introduces…

We present an explainable AI-enhanced supervisory control framework for multi-agent robotics that combines (i) a timed-automata supervisor for safe, auditable mode switching, (ii) robust continuous control (Lyapunov-based controller for…

This paper solves the problem of station-keeping control of a surface vessel under conditions of sinusoidal disturbances with unknown parameters. The proposed control algorithm is based on the geometric approach with the use of the adaptive…

A control design for error reduction in the tracking control for a class of non-lower triangular nonlinear systems is presented by combining techniques of Variable Power Surface Error Function (VPSEF), backstepping, and dynamic surface…

To enable autonomous driving in interactive traffic scenarios, various model predictive control (MPC) formulations have been proposed, each employing different interaction models. While higher-fidelity models enable more intelligent…

This paper proposes a sliding mode controller with smooth control effort for a class of nonlinear plants. The proposed controller is created by allowing some constant parameters of the earlier smooth sliding control (SSC) to vary as a…

The rapid expansion of bike-sharing systems (BSS) has greatly improved urban "last-mile" connectivity, yet large-scale deployments face escalating operational challenges, particularly in detecting faulty bikes. Existing detection approaches…
