【 摘 要 】

This note deals with the leader-following formation problem for multiple underactuated ships in the presence of structure uncertainties and the time-varying parameterized disturbances. Following this ideology, a novel robust fuzzy dynamic surface formation control algorithm is proposed by fusing of the dynamic surface control (DSC), minimal learning parameter (MLP) and low frequency gain-learning (LFG). In the control algorithm, the intermediate virtual control laws do not appear in the finally actual control effort, and only two fuzzy type approximators are introduced to compensate the model uncertainties and the external disturbances, which can effectively overcome the constraints of ‘explosion of complexity’ and ‘curse of dimensionality’ in the traditional approximation-based algorithm. Unlike the current DSC technique, no filter errors are required to be stabilized in the Lyapunov function by virtue of the filter compensation signal, which could optimize the calculation of stabilization analysis. Furthermore, benefiting from the LFG technique, the robustness and applicability of the proposed control algorithm can be improved. Based on the Lyapunov theory analysis, all signals of the closed-loop control system can be guaranteed to be semi-global uniformly ultimately bounded (SGUUB). Finally, the simulated experiment is provided to verify the effectiveness and superiority of the proposed control scheme.
