Horizontal-Plane Trajectory-Tracking Control of an Underactuated Unmanned Marine Vehicle in the Presence of Ocean Currents

Based on an integral backstepping approach, a trajectory-tracking control algorithm is proposed for an underactuated unmanned marine vehicle (UMV) sailing in the presence of ocean-current disturbance. Taking into consideration the UMV model's fore/aft asymmetry, a nonlinear three-degree-of-free...
