Fault-Tolerant Prescribed Performance Control Algorithm for Underwater Acoustic Sensor Network Nodes With Thruster Saturation

Abstract

This paper designs a prescribed performance fault-tolerant control strategy for the underwater acoustic sensor network nodes (UASNN) trajectory tracking control in the presence of ocean current disturbances, modeling uncertainties, and thruster faults. By using a general uncertainties observer, the influence of disturbances and uncertainties are estimated. Additionally, a novel performance function which determines explicitly the maximum convergence time is utilized. Based on the new performance function and corresponding error transformation, the 6-DOF tracking errors are restricted to prescribed bounds to ensure the desired transient and steady response. Furthermore, when considering thruster saturation, we introduce an auxiliary system to compensate for the saturation. The closed-loop system stability is proved by Lyapunov theory. The numerical simulations for three thruster faults are carried out to demonstrate that the proposed strategy is effective.

Practical Moving Target Detection in Maritime Environments Using Fuzzy Multi-sensor Data Fusion

“…Methods developed not only for surface vessels, but also for underwater vehicles can be well adopted and integrated. Especially, as underwater environment possesses more challenging constraints than surface one, with appropriate modification a number of most recent autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) fault-tolerant tracking control methods such as the disturbance-observer-based strategy [34], performance-functionconstrained [35] and data-driven adaptive tracking [36] can Another important further research direction is towards multi-sensor fusion using a wider spectrum of sensors including vision systems and LiDAR. Although radar can detect target ships over a wide range of areas with a reasonable performance, the radar scatters may provide false sizes of targets due to reflection or disturbance.…”

Fixed‐time observer based adaptive neural network time‐varying formation tracking control for multi‐agent systems via minimal learning parameter approach

“…Thus, we need to tune the parameters and appropriately in compromise among the rapidity, tracking error and smoothness. The parameters and in the adaptive law also need to be tuned to keep a balance between the learning rates and final formation tracking error. Remark 11 Since the necessary Assumption 3 is made to satisfy the condition of universal approximation theorem that is approximated by RBFNNs over a compact set, the results of this paper are not global. Remark 12 Actually, ensuring the tracking error in a desired range is of great significance and meaningfulness in practice since the better transient and steady‐state performance and communication could be obtained [31, 47, 48]. Similar to [31], the following tan‐type barrier Lyapunov function can be adopted to constrain the formation tracking errors in a predefined range. …”
