Path planning and formation control are two of the most significant concepts which can be
considered in multi-vehicle systems and particularly in autonomous underwater vehicles …

Consensus formation tracking of multiple autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) subject
to nonlinear and uncertain dynamics is a challenging problem in robotics. To tackle this …

This research work focuses on the design of a robust-adaptive control algorithm for a 4DOF
Unmanned Underwater Vehicle (UUV). The proposed strategy is based in a Non-Singular …

An unknown nonlinear disturbance seriously affects the trajectory tracking of autonomous
underwater vehicles (AUVs). Thus, it is critical to eliminate the influence of such …

In this article, the formation control of quad-rotor unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) via pigeon
inspired optimization (PIO) is designed. The nonlinear mathematical model of the quad-rotor …

This paper deals with the motion planning problem for surface vehicles in the presence of
varying environmental disturbances. The goal is to steer the vehicles from an initial to a final …

In this paper, an observer-based adaptive control method is investigated for the horizontal
trajectory tracking of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV) with input saturation and …

This article develops an effective adaptive obstacle avoidance control strategy containing
formation decision mechanism and a model predictive control–based formation controller for …

The performance of a formation control algorithm for a group of autonomous underwater
vehicles (AUVs) may be degraded due to communication constraints between the leader …

In this technical note, a combined discrete-time controller, consisting of a partial feedback
linearization controller and a backstepping controller, is proposed to manage the …
