This invention discloses a dual-channel event-triggered unmanned surface vessel (USV) control method with
minimum time interval, belonging to the field of USV control technology. To address the communication
redundancy problem between USVs and between the controller and actuators, this invention establishes the assumptions of a dual-channel event-triggered USV control method with
minimum time interval. Each USV is divided into follower and leader, and the
motion dynamics equations for each USV are established. A weighted graph is constructed for the communication topology between USVs. Then, based on the definition of convex
hull and the Laplace matrix, an event-triggered position observer with
minimum time interval constraints is designed for each USV. An event-triggered tracking controller with minimum time interval is designed for the follower. This invention can significantly reduce the overall
system requirement for expensive sensors and reduce the design and implementation costs of multi-USV systems.
