Abstract

:This paper proposes a fixed-time tracking control scheme for unmanned surface vessels based on nonsingular fast terminal sliding mode (NFTSM) and disturbance observer. Firstly, a fixed-time convergent virtual control law is proposed, which improves the convergence speed of position errors when the velocity error tend to zero. Secondly, a fixed-time NFTSM control strategy is proposed based on the difference between the actual ship velocity and the virtual desired velocity, which eliminate the singularity of the system and ensure that the ship converges to the desired trajectory within a fixed time. Thirdly, a disturbance observer is utilized to estimate and compensate the unknown time-varying environmental disturbances. And the Lyapunov theory are introduced to guarantee the stability of the system. Finally, simulation results demonstrate that the designed NFTSM control strategy can accurately estimate different external environmental disturbances, improve system error convergence speed, and exhibit high trajectory tracking accuracy.
