For the non-linear model of an asymmetric underactuated surface ship with non-diagonal inertia and damping matrices, the straight-line path following control problem is investigated in this work. First, the error model is converted to an advantageous form by novel state and input transformations; the direct Lyapunov method and back-stepping approach are then used to derive a state feedback control law. The proposed control law guarantees global asymptotic convergence of the ship to the desired straight-line path with a desired surge speed which is supposed to be bounded and not convergent to zero. Simulation results show the effectiveness of proposed control law.
Keywords:Underactuated surface ships; Non-diagonal inertia/damping matrices; Straight-line path following; State transformation; Back-stepping
