| Abstract | ||
| ABSTRACT In this paper, we will construct a control that forces position and orientation of the underactuated autonomous ship moves according to a reference feasible trajectory. To achieve this objective, we use as a design tool of puts the Backtepping methodology and Lyapunov function. Experimental results are given to show the tracking performance. We will illustrate trajectories with time varying velocity (sinusoidal path). Then, we will test the tracking robustness in presence of drag forces disturbances. | ||
