In this paper, an event-triggered integral sliding mode fixed-time control method for trajectory tracking problem of autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) with disturbance is investigated. Initially, the global fixed time stability is ensured with conventional periodic sampling method for reference trajectory tracking. By introducing fixed time integral sliding mode manifold, fixed time control strategy is expressed for the AUV, which can effectively eliminate the singularity. Correspondingly, in order to reduce the damage caused by chattering phenomenon, an adaptive fixed-time method is proposed based on the designed continuous integral terminal sliding mode (ITSM) to ensure that the trajectory tracking for AUV is achieved in fixed-time with external disturbance. In order to reduce resource consumption in the process of transmission network, the event-triggered sliding mode control strategy is designed which condition is triggered by an event. Also, Zeno behavior is avoided by proof of theoretical. It is shown that the upper bounds of settling time are only dependent on the parameters of controller. Theoretical analysis and simulation experiment results show that the presented methods can realize the control object.
