Abstract
This paper investigates a robust adaptive event-triggered control algorithm with a consideration of the synchronized lawn mowing search guidance for a heterogeneous system comprising both an unmanned surface vessel (USV) and an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). For ensuring a cooperative global search navigation of the USV–UAV, a synchronized lawn mowing search guidance is developed with two key elements: the -based virtual ship (VS) and -based virtual aerial (VA), where the former can generate the smooth reference path for a USV according to the search task scope, while the latter can program the reference path for a UAV on the basis of its search requirements (search speed, detected capacity and communication distance). In the control loop, a robust adaptive path following control law is designed by utilizing an event-triggered mechanism and a minimal learning parameter (MLP) technique. In particular, the event-triggered mechanism has a potential role for a reduction of the unnecessary transmission resource usage for the channel of the controller to the actuator. Besides, only one learning parameters on each channel by introducing the MLP technique, implying a lower computational burden. Through the Lyapunov theorem, the semi-global uniform ultimate bounded (SGUUB) stability properties of the proposed control system. Finally, two numerical simulations are carried out to evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed strategy and the advantages compared with existing techniques.
