Abstract
SummaryCoordination control of multiple autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) has attracted considerable attention owing to its widespread applications in deep‐sea exploration, marine environment monitoring, regional searches, and detector recovery. In addition, finite‐time control theory is applied to ensure that the system achieves its control goal as soon as possible. To the authors' knowledge, few studies have systematically summarized the finite‐time coordination control of multiple AUV systems. Thus this review aims to systematically and completely introduce the research progress into the coordination control methods for multi‐AUV systems and their combination with finite‐time theory. The primary areas of focus are the research significance, present state, and prospects of coordination control and finite‐time control theory in multiple AUV systems, as well as their applications.
