State-Dependent Trajectory Planning and Tracking Control of Unmanned Surface Vessels.

A new method combining trajectory planning, tracking and coordinated control for unmanned surface vessels is presented based on nonlinear sliding mode control. A limiting factor of sliding mode tracking control is that it can only guarantee position tracking as long as the vessel initial conditions...
