Autonomous marine vehicles (AMVs), including autonomous surface and underwater
vehicles, are versatile means to explore, exploit, monitor, and protect marine resources and …

Autonomous surface vehicles (ASVs) are marine vessels capable of performing various
marine operations without a crew in a variety of cluttered and hostile water/ocean …

In this paper, a cooperative time-varying formation maneuvering problem with connectivity
preservation and collision avoidance is investigated for a fleet of autonomous surface …

As one of the emerging tools of ocean operation, unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) have
shown great potential in ocean exploration in recent years. Motion control is an important …

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 addresses a decentralized leader-follower formation control problem for a group
of fully actuated unmanned surface vehicles with prescribed performance and collision …

This article is concerned with the fast and accurate trajectory tracking control problem for a
sort of underactuated surface vehicle under model uncertainties and environmental …

With growing worldwide interest in commercial, scientific, and military issues associated with
both oceans and shallow waters, there has been a corresponding growth in demand for the …

In this paper, we investigate the trajectory tracking problem for a fully actuated autonomous
underwater vehicle (AUV) that moves in the horizontal plane. External disturbances, control …

A novel nonlinear sliding mode control approach dealing with the formation control of under-
actuated ships is presented in this paper. To avoid the singularity problem, state space of the …
