- Abstract
- A novel strategy for formation tracking of multiple uncertain underactuated surface vehicles is introduced in this study, to maintain the prescribed formation performance in the presence of moving obstacles with unknown velocities. Unlike the existing methods for prescribed formation performance control, our key contribution is the development of distributed avoidance-accommodating flexible performance functions (FPFs). These functions prevent deviation from the prescribed performance bounds while navigating around moving obstacles, considering input saturation and model uncertainties. We design local adaptive formation controllers by using distributed posture errors and avoidance-accommodating FPFs. Auxiliary signals that facilitate adjustment of the posture errors and performance functions during obstacle avoidance are derived using a recursive design that ensures Lyapunov stability. Additionally, command filters for virtual control laws are redesigned as saturation-compensating filters to solve the input saturation problem. Consequently, the proposed controller ensures the prescribed distributed formation performance, even in scenarios involving moving obstacles and input saturation, a capability lacking in conventional prescribed performance-based formation controllers, which can become unstable in such scenarios. The theoretical findings of this study are validated through comparative simulations. © 2024 Elsevier Ltd
