Abstract
ABSTRACT This paper proposes a new fixed-time sliding mode time-varying formation control strategy for multiple surface vessels (MSVs) to improve control performance and ensure navigation safety. First, a fixed-time extended state observer (FxESO) is designed to provide estimations of velocities and lumped disturbances. Then, the event-triggered fixed-time distributed time-varying formation control law is designed based on prescribed performance function (PPF) and fixed-time nonsingular terminal sliding mode (FxNTSM) manifold. Finally, system stability is analyzed based on Lyapunov theory. The salient features of the proposed scheme are as follows. First, a novel hyperbolic cosecant PPF is incorporated into the control scheme to enhance control performance. Then, the proposed scheme is combined with relative threshold event-triggered strategy to reduce unnecessary updates of actuators. Finally, a uniform exact differentiator is introduced to avoid the formation control law including the acceleration of adjacent vessel. Comparative results are given to demonstrate the superiority of the proposed scheme.
