Abstract
In this paper, a nonlinear disturbance observer-based backstepping finite-time sliding mode control scheme for trajectory tracking of underwater vehicles subject to unknown system uncertainties and time-varying external disturbances is proposed. To reduce the influence of the uncertainties and external disturbances, a nonlinear disturbance observer is developed without any acceleration measurements to identify the lumped disturbance term. Additionally, the finite-time trajectory tracking controller is designed by combining second-order sliding mode control and backstepping design technique with the nonlinear disturbance observer. The finite-time convergence of motion tracking errors and the stability of the overall closed-loop control system are guaranteed by the Lyapunov approach. Besides, comprehensive simulation studies on trajectory tracking control of underwater vehicles are provided to demonstrate the effectiveness and performance of the proposed control scheme.
