In this paper a solution to the problem of following a curved path in the presence of a constant unknown ocean current disturbance is presented. We introduce a path variable that represents the curvilinear abscissa on the path which is used to propagate the path-tangential reference frame. The proposed dynamic update law of the path variable is non singular and the guidance law is designed such that the vessel can reject constant unknown ocean currents by using an ocean current observer. It is shown that the closed-loop system composed of the guidance law, controller and observer provides globally asymptotically stable and locally exponentially stable path following errors. The sway velocity dynamics is analyzed and, under adequate hypothesis on the path curvature, it is shown that the dynamics are well behaved and that the guidance law to exist. Simulations are presented to verify the theoretical findings.

Underactuated systems like sea vessels have degrees of motion that are insufficiently matched by a set of independent actuation forces. In addition, the underlying trajectory-tracking control problems grow in complexity in order to decide the optimal rudder and thrust control signals. This enforces several difficult-to-solve constraints that are associated with the error dynamical equations using classical optimal tracking and adaptive control approaches. An online machine learning mechanism based on integral reinforcement learning is proposed to find a solution for a class of nonlinear tracking problems with partial prior knowledge of the system dynamics. The actuation forces are decided using innovative forms of temporal difference equations relevant to the vessels surge and angular velocities. The solution is implemented using an online value iteration process which is realized by employing means of the adaptive critics and gradient descent approaches. The adaptive learning mechanism exhibited well-functioning and interactive features in react to different desired reference-tracking scenarios.
This paper presents a novel approach to the design of globally asymptotically stable (GAS) position filters for Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) based directly on the nonlinear sensor readings of an Ultra-short Baseline (USBL) and a Doppler Velo city Log (DVL). Central to the proposed solution is the derivation of a linear time-varying (LTV) system that fully captures the dynamics of the nonlinear system, allowing for the use of powerful linear system analysis and filtering design tools that yield GAS filter error dynamics. Simulation results reveal that the proposed filter is able to achieve the same level of performance of more traditional solutions, such as the Extended Kalman Filter (EKF), while providing, at the same time, GAS guarantees, which are absent for the EKF.
We address the problem of attack detection and isolation for a class of discrete-time nonlinear systems under (potentially unbounded) sensor attacks and measurement noise. We consider the case when a subset of sensors is subject to additive false dat a injection attacks. Using a bank of observers, each observer leading to an Input-to-State Stable (ISS) estimation error, we propose two algorithms for detecting and isolating sensor attacks. These algorithms make use of the ISS property of the observers to check whether the trajectories of observers are `consistent with the attack-free trajectories of the system. Simulations results are presented to illustrate the performance of the proposed algorithms.
We address the problem of state estimation and attack isolation for general discrete-time nonlinear systems when sensors are corrupted by (potentially unbounded) attack signals. For a large class of nonlinear plants and observers, we provide a genera l estimation scheme, built around the idea of sensor redundancy and multi-observer, capable of reconstructing the system state in spite of sensor attacks and noise. This scheme has been proposed by others for linear systems/observers and here we propose a unifying framework for a much larger class of nonlinear systems/observers. Using the proposed estimator, we provide an isolation algorithm to pinpoint attacks on sensors during sliding time windows. Simulation results are presented to illustrate the performance of our tools.
In this paper, robust control with sea state observer and dynamic thrust allocation is proposed for the Dynamic Positioning (DP) of an accommodation vessel in the presence of unknown hydrodynamic force variation and the input time delay. In order to overcome the huge force variation due to the adjoining Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) and accommodation vessel, a novel sea state observer is designed. The sea observer can effectively monitor the variation of the drift wave-induced force on the vessel and activate Neural Network (NN) compensator in the controller when large wave force is identified. Moreover, the wind drag coefficients can be adaptively approximated in the sea observer so that a feedforward control can be achieved. Based on this, a robust constrained control is developed to guarantee a safe operation. The time delay inside the control input is also considered. Dynamic thrust allocation module is presented to distribute the generalized control input among azimuth thrusters. Under the proposed sea observer and control, the boundedness of all the closed-loop signals are demonstrated via rigorous Lyapunov analysis. A set of simulation studies are conducted to verify the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.
