Topic: Visual Servo Control of Unmanned Surface Vehicles
Subject to completely unknown model information of an unmanned surface vehicle (USV), three problems including stabilization control, trajectory-tracking control, and swarming control in GPS-denied environments, are solved by the visual-servo strategies in my research. Firstly, the visual-servo stabilization system of the USV is readily established by decomposing homography, resulting in the unmatched visual uncertainties arisen from inherently unknown image depth. Secondly, the active vision is deployed to allow the USV to track the desired trajectory around the visual target. Finally, a novel visual-servo swarming mechanism embodying the aggregation, separation, consensus, and visibility maintenance rules, is deliberately created based on the line-of-sight ranges and angles, whereby a swarm of USVs can cooperate with a manned surface vehicle to emerge more flexible swarming behaviors.

Topic: Pulse width modulation control for stochastic Lagrange systems
The problem of pulse width modulation (PWM) control of Lagrange system driven by servo motor in stochastic environment is researched in this paper. As preliminaries, by using the tools of stochastic analysis, the PWM control principle of stochastic nonlinear systems is proved, a smooth control of stochastic Lagrange system bounded in probability is designed, and the stochastic closed-loop nonlinear programming is modeled in the same form as that in the deterministic case. Boundedness of the control is added to the smooth control designed as a hard constraint, and the stochastic QP problem is presented for which an analytic solution is constructed by verifying the KKT condition, and the expression of the optimal duty ratio is obtained. Finally, the main procedures of design and implementation of the stochastic PWM are summarized, and the effectiveness of the proposed scheme is verified by simulations on anthropomorphic manipulator.
