Abstract

This article studies formation control consideration of cooperative path following problem in a group of multiple Surface Vehicles (SVs). A proposed formation control protocol that contains optimal control problem in two subsystems of each SV with Model Predictive Control (MPC) and Approximate/Adaptive reinforcement Learning (ARL) Controller. The MPC is developed for nonlinear sub-system of SV with the tracking performance to be guaranteed by considering an appropriate optimization problem. Moreover, RL control design is carried out for time-varying sub-system by indirect method. Finally, the proposed control protocol is demonstrated by simulation result to show the effectiveness of this control protocol.
