Abstract
AbstractThis paper deals with the real-time tracking control problem for an autonomous underwater vehicle based on an acoustic-based positioning method, i.e., the so-called GPS intelligent buoy system, which causes inevitable measurement delay. The measurement delay increases the control difficulty and degrades the tracking accuracy. Additionally, the exact modeling for an autonomous underwater vehicle is difficult due to uncertain hydrodynamic parameters. Based on these findings, a model-free control scheme is proposed. In the proposed scheme, the GPS intelligent buoy system provides the position signals without velocity measurements. Considering the measurement noise, a robust exact differentiator is used instead of the traditional numerical differentiation method to obtain the derivatives of position signals, which saves the limited actuator energy of autonomous underwater vehicles. Simulations are performed to verify the validity of the proposed control scheme. The results demonstrate that the proposed control scheme can achieve high timeliness and high tracking accuracy for autonomous underwater vehicles. Compared to the conventional model predictive control, the proposed controller requires 89.7% less average calculation time. In addition, the proposed controller outperforms the conventional proportion-differentiation controller in root-mean-square error by approximately 62.3−80.7%.
