The invention relates to a flight
path tracking control method for an unmanned autonomous submersible vehicle, and belongs to the technical field of unmanned submersible
vehicle control. The method comprises the following steps: firstly, establishing a nonlinear dynamic model of the submersible vehicle, analyzing
kinematics and dynamic characteristics of the nonlinear dynamic model, considering various
underwater forces and moments, and defining an
inertial coordinate system and a submersible vehicle body coordinate
system to obtain a
kinematics equation and a
dynamic equation so as to provide a basis for control design; secondly, a non-singular integral
terminal sliding mode control method is adopted, a sliding mode surface is designed, the singular problem of traditional
sliding mode control is avoided, a
sliding mode control law is deduced,
system finite time convergence to a
balance point is achieved, and an expected state is rapidly tracked. And finally, a brand new and simple
adaptive control strategy is provided, an adaptive law is designed according to
system errors and sliding mode surface information, a
gain matrix is adjusted in real time, and system uncertainty and external interference are compensated. The method has the advantages of being high in robustness, rapid in convergence, simple and easy to implement.
