This paper addresses three interrelated problems concerning the path following of marine
surface vehicles, namely, the path planning, the guidance, and the velocity controller design …

This paper investigates the path following control problem for an unmanned marine surface
vessel (MSV) in the presence of uncertainties and input saturation. The backstepping …

Unmanned surface vessels (USVs) are supposed to be able to adapt unstructured
environments by means of multi-sensor active perception without any human interference …

In this note, one concerns with the problem of robust adaptive path-following control for
uncertain underactuated ships in fields of marine practice: waypoints based navigation. A …

This note focuses on the waypoints-based path-following problem of underactuated ships,
where the reference path is surrounded by multiple static and moving obstacles. By virtue of …

This paper is concerned with the path following control for an unmanned surface vessel
subject to unknown dynamics and external disturbance. Firstly, an integral Line-of-Sight …

Around the waypoint-based path-following control for marine ships, a novel dynamic virtual
ship (DVS) guidance principle is developed to implement the assumption “the reference …

This paper introduces a scheme for waypoint-based path-following control for an Unmanned
Robot Sailboat (URS) in the presence of actuator gain uncertainty and unknown …

An improved adaptive integral line-of-sight guidance law and path following control system
for Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USVs) with uncertainties is proposed in this paper. The …

In the process of ship navigation, due to the characteristics of large inertia and large time
delay, overshoot can easily occur in the process of path following. Once the ship deviates …
