This study focuses on the problem of finite-time tracking control for underactuated surface vessels (USVs) through sliding-mode control algorithms with external disturbances. Considering the nonexistence of relative degree caused by the underactuated property, the initial tracking error system is firstly transformed to a high order system for the possibility of applying a sliding-mode control algorithm. Subsequently, a finite-time controller based on an integral sliding surface (ISMS) is designed to achieve trajectory tracking. With the aid of this controller, the tracking errors converge to a steady state in a finite time. In contrast to the backstepping-based approach, the proposed method makes it possible to integrate controller design of position tracking and attitude tracking in one step, thus ensuring simplicity for implementation. Finally, theoretical analysis and numerical simulations are conducted to confirm the effectiveness of the proposed method.

A new robust state and parameter estimation strategy called the Variable Structure Filter (VSF) has recently been proposed and used for state and parameter estimation. A very common problem of linear stochastic systems is to design a combined robust control and estimation strategy, given system and noise uncertainties. Variable Structure Control (VSC) and its special form of Sliding Mode Control (SMC) show superb robustness. This paper proposes a new strategy involving the Sliding Mode Control and the Variable Structure Filter. Both the estimator and controller are based on the concepts of Variable Structure Systems (VSS). In the presence of bounded parametric uncertainties and noise, a robust stability is guaranteed. Further more, the combined strategy can be used to achieve high regulation rates or short settling times. The object of this paper is to introduce this combined VSF and SMC strategy and to demonstrate its application to a third order model of a high precision hydrostatic system, referred to as the Electrohydraulic Actuator System (EHA).
