Within the next several years, there will be a high level of autonomous technology that will
be available for widespread use, which will reduce labor costs, increase safety, save energy …

This paper investigates visual navigation and control of a cooperative unmanned surface
vehicle (USV)-unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) system for marine search and rescue. First, a …

This paper investigates the tracking control problem of marine surface vessels (MSVs) in the
presence of uncertain dynamics and external disturbances. The facts that actuators are …

This article addresses the problem of path following for underactuated unmanned surface
vessels (USVs) formation via a modified deep reinforcement learning with random braking …

Unmanned ship navigates on the water in an autonomous or semiautonomous way, which
can be widely used in maritime transportation, intelligence collection, maritime training and …

This paper addresses the formation reconfiguration problem of multiple unmanned surface
vehicles subject to static and dynamic obstacles. Specifically, a desired heading is …

This paper aims to develop a safe learning scheme of the USV interception mission. A safe
Lyapunov boundary deep deterministic policy gradient (SLDDPG) algorithm is presented for …

In order to enhance the large curvature path following performance of unmanned surface
vehicle (USV), an improved Stanley guidance law (ISGL) is proposed. To the best of our …

This paper addresses the distributed formation control with collision avoidance for multiple
under-actuated unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) subject to fully unknown models. A fully …

Adapting to the navigational high-precision tracking tasks, this paper develops an event-
triggered adaptive neural asymptotic tracking control framework for underactuated ships …
