The robust adaptive design of straight-line tracking control

The parametric non-strict-feedback and unmatched uncertainty of surface ship straight-line tracking control was considered. With the help of Lyapunov stability theory, considering the characteristics of the rudder system, a novel adaptive stepping algorithm is proposed, which could guarantee the closed-loop system to be uniformly ultimately bounded. The result of simulations present the validity and the better performance by considering characteristics of the rudder.
