Practical formation control of multiple underactuated ships with limited sensing ranges

This paper presents a constructive method to design cooperative controllers that force a group of N underactuated ships with limited sensing ranges to perform a desired formation, and guarantee no collisions between the ships. These ships do not have an independent actuator in the sway axis. The des...
