Abstract In this study, we investigate a finite-time consensus tracking problem for a group of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) with heterogeneous uncertain dynamics. We firstly propose a two-layer distributed control strategy, which consists of an upper-layer distributed observer and a lower-layer controller, without using any global information. Based on Hölder's inequality and the theory of finite-time stability, we develop a distributed finite-time observer for each follower to estimate the position information of a leader (i.e., an exosystem). Based on the sliding mode control method, we design a consensus tracking control scheme for each AUV, by which all follower AUVs can track the leader in finite-time. Secondly, when the parameters in the AUV dynamics are uncertain, we introduce a parameter-adaptive sliding mode control algorithm to improve the control performance. Finally, simulation results are presented to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed control algorithms.
