Abstract

Aiming at high-precision depth tracking control problem of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) in unknown model dynamics and environmental disturbances, an event-triggered adaptive neural asymptotic tracking controller was designed.  RBF neural networks (NNs) was used to approximate the nonlinear uncertain terms, and the integral-bounded functions were incorporated into control laws and adaptive laws to achieve asymptotic convergence of tracking errors. The minimum learning parameters (MLPs) technique was adopted to compress neural weights and construct a single parameter adaptive law. The variable type event triggering condition was constructed by using the event-triggered mechanism on the controller-to-actuator channel, and avoid “Zeno” phenomenon. The inequality relationship of radial basis functions was used to solve the problem of “algebraic loop”. The Lyapunov direct method and Barbalat Lemma were used to analyze the stability of the closed-loop system and prove the asymptotic convergence of tracking errors. Simulation experiments verified that the control strategy proposed in this paper has high-precision depth tracking performance.
