A biologically inspired approach to tracking control of underactuated surface vessels subject to unknown dynamics

作者:

Highlights:

• The tracking control problem of underactuated surface vessels is studied.

• A biologically inspired approach is proposed using backstepping, neurodynamics model and NN.

• The control algorithm is efficient as no time derivatives of virtual controls are needed.

• The NN learning algorithm derived from Lyapunov theory is computationally efficient.

• The control performance is shown to be faster and better than other approaches.
