Abstract :
Robust path following capability is mandatory for an unmanned boat to perform tasks autonomously. This paper presents a mixed H∞/H2 based control which enables the boat to follow paths with connected straight line segments and circular arcs in the absence of yaw angle measurement. The performance of the strategy is evaluated in field test and will be discussed in the paper.
