description | In this study, the stochastic nonlinear system-based trajectory tracking control problem of an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) is studied. We investigate the time-varying gain adaptive control method to find possible approaches to reduce the excessive computational burden. Enhanced adaptive algorithms are devised by considering the dynamic characteristics of AUV motion. By transforming the original controller design problems into parameter selection problems and subsequently solving them using the functional time-varying observer technical theorem, we can achieve optimal control performance. The control system is shown to constrain system state error due to stochastic disturbances within arbitrarily small domains. A coordinate transformation is proposed for all system states to meet boundedness conditions. We show that the closed-loop stability is confirmed, the system is asymptotically probabilistically stable, and contraction limits given in the stability analysis may be used to certify the convergence of the AUV trajectory errors. A large number of simulation studies using an underwater vehicle model have proved the effectiveness and robustness of the proposed approach. A real-time, time-varying gain constructive control strategy is further developed for the hardware-in-the-loop simulation; the effectiveness of the controller design is confirmed by introducing the controller into the AUV actuator model. |
