Research on Cooperative Positioning and Control Methods for Multi-unmanned Vessel Cooperation
In recent years,the application of unmanned ship in water operation and scientific research is more and more exten-sive.Compared with the traditional manned vessels,the advantages of multi-unmanned vessels are the reduction of manpower cost,the improvement of work efficiency and the reduction of potential risks.Cooperative positioning and control is a key problem in the process of multi-unmanned vessel cooperation.This research has carried on the thorough discussion to this question.According to the characteristics of multi-unmanned vessel,a distributed control method based on cooperative positioning is proposed,and the corresponding experimental verification is designed.The experimental results show that this method can realize the cooperative posi-tioning and control of multi-unmanned vessels,and has good performance and feasibility.
