This paper surveys the recent advances in marine mechatronic systems from a control
perspective. The survey is by no means exhaustive, but introduces some notable results in …

This article presents an in‐depth review of path following control strategies that are
applicable to a wide range class of marine, ground, and aerial autonomous robotic vehicles …

This article investigates the problem of path following for the underactuated unmanned
surface vehicles (USVs) subject to state constraints. A useful control algorithm is proposed …

Efficient path planning is a critical issue for the navigation of modern unmanned surface
vehicles (USVs) characterized by a complex operating environment having dynamic …

The technology of hydrodynamic modeling and marine craft motion control systems has
progressed greatly in recent years. This timely survey includes the latest tools for analysis …

We present a nonlinear adaptive path following controller that compensates for drift forces
through vehicle sideslip. Vehicle sideslip arises during path following when the vehicle is …

This paper describes a concept for a collision avoidance system for ships, which is based on
model predictive control. A finite set of alternative control behaviors are generated by …

Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) are mainly used by military and government
organizations, but with low-cost sensors, electronics, and airframes there is significant …

This paper presents an extensive analysis of the integral line-of-sight (ILOS) guidance
method for path-following tasks of underactuated marine vehicles, operating on and below …

This paper addresses two interrelated problems concerning the planar three degree-of-
freedom motion of a vehicle, namely, the path planning problem and the guidance problem …
