Adptive Heading Control of Underactuated Unmanned Surface Vehicle Based on Improved Backpropagation Neural Network

Abstract

Aiming at the challenges to the accurate and stable heading control of underactuated unmanned surface vehicles arising from the nonlinear interference caused by the overlay and the interaction of multi interference, and also the uncertainties of model parameters, a heading control algorithm for an underactuated unmanned surface vehicle based on an improved backpropagation neural network is proposed. Based on applying optimization theory to realize that the underactuated unmanned surface vehicle tracks the desired yaw angle and maintains it, the improved momentum of weight is combined with an improved tracking differentiator to improve the robustness of the system and the dynamic property of the control. A hyperbolic tangent function is used to establish the nonlinear mappings an approximate method is adopted to summarize the general mathematical expressions, and the gradient descent method is applied to ensure the convergence. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm has the advantages of strong robustness, strong anti-interference and high control accuracy. Compared with two commonly used heading control algorithms, the accuracy of the heading control in the complex environment of the proposed algorithm is improved by more than 50%.

“…Machine learning is centered around the creation of algorithms that can discover patterns, make predictions, and produce insights from data autonomously. 33,115,116 The process typically entails training a model on a labeled dataset, which allows the algorithm to learn to detect correlations between input characteristics and matching output labels. The performance of the model is then assessed using previously unknown data, and adjustments are made to improve its precision and generalization.…”

“…Hence, empirical and statistical methods such as those developed by Holtrop and van Oortmerssen are commonly used and valuable [14]. The key feature of these methods is that they can be easily developed and quickly put into operation, meaning that they can be used early in the design process to give an understanding of the ship's behaviour [15], [16].…”
