Containment control of autonomous surface vehicles: A nonlinear disturbance observer–based dynamic surface control design

This study presents a solution to the problem of containment control of multiple fully actuated autonomous surface vehicles subject to environmental disturbances. Using finite-time stability theory, a nonlinear disturbance observer is constructed to provide an estimation of unknown disturbances onli...
