Summary

This work deals with the design and implementation of a novel output feedback position tracking controller for marine vessels subject to uncertainties in their dynamical parameters and periodic external disturbance. Specifically, an adaptive controller that does not make use of velocity measurements has been presented which can compensate for uncertainties in the system's dynamical parameters and periodic external disturbance. A filtered based velocity surrogate formulation in conjunction with a periodic noise estimator and a desired model compensation based adaptive parameter estimator have been utilized to tackle the problem. Boundedness of the closed loop system and convergence of the position tracking error to the origin are proven via Lyapunov-type arguments. Comparative numerical simulations are presented to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed controller.
