摘要

Cascaded guidance, state estimation, and control systems have been successfully implemented in autonomous underwater vehicles. However, disordered convergence sequences among subsystems fundamentally induce system oscillations and instabilities. Here, we introduce a temporal-sequencing-convergent cascaded guidance, state estimation, and control system for depth-tracking of underactuated autonomous underwater vehicles. It establishes an ordered convergence architecture: state estimation converges first with a planning window td, followed by control execution with a planning time window tc, and guidance finally converges with a planning time window tf, adhering to a temporal-sequencing-convergent criterion td < tc < tf. This architecture, validated through experiments, ensures stable and efficient depth-tracking performance owing to well-ordered convergence of subsystems. Conversely, experiments violating the temporal-sequencing-convergent criterion exhibited prominent oscillatory depth-tracking responses. Our method outperformed selected approaches, achieving a lower average depth-tracking error of 1.32 cm under sudden external disturbances. Notably, even with prominent pitch-tracking errors using a PD controller, our proposed guidance design also showcased remarkable attack-angle compensation capability, thereby maintaining precise depth-tracking performance.
