Abstract

In this paper, we develop a novel and robust adaptive autopilot for uninhabited surface vehicles (USV). In practice, usually asudden change in dynamics results in aborted missions and the USV has to be rescued to avoid possible damage to other marine crafts inthe vicinity. This problem has been inve...
