A Hybrid Approach for Coordinated Formation Control of Multiple Surface Vessels

This paper investigates the coordination control of multiple marine vessels in different operational modes. Based on hybrid control theory, a novel coordinated formation control approach is proposed. The proposed method comprises several continuous state controllers and discrete event logics. Contin...
