Motion control of unmanned surface vehicles (USVs) is a crucial issue in sailing performance and navigation costs. The actuators of USVs currently available are mostly a combination of thrusters and rudders. The modeling for USVs with rudderless double thrusters is rarely studied. In this paper, the three degrees of freedom (DOFs) dynamic model and propeller thrust model of this kind of USV were derived and combined. The unknown parameters of the propeller thrust model were reduced from six to two. In the three-DOF model, the propulsion of the USV was completely provided by the resultant force generated by double thrusters and the rotational moment was related to the differential thrust. It combined the propeller thrust model to represent the thrust in more detail. We performed a series of tests for a 1.5 m long, 50 kg USV, in order to obtain the model parameters through system identification. Then, the accuracy of the modeling and identification results was verified by experimental testing. Finally, based on the established model and the proportional derivative+line of sight (PD+LOS) control algorithm, the path-following control of the USV was achieved through simulations and experiments. All these demonstrated the validity and practical value of the established model.

The purpose of this paper is to develop a self-detecting diaphragm integrated with a flexible sensor, which is utilized in an underwater thruster. Resistive strain sensors are easy to manufacture and integrate due to their advantages in reliable stretchability and ductility. Inspired by the structure of neurons, we fabricated resistive flexible sensors using silica gel as the matrix with carbon black and carbon nanotubes as additives.

This study investigated the fault feature extraction and fusion problem for autonomous underwater vehicles with weak thruster faults. The conventional fault feature extraction and fusion method is effective when thruster faults are serious. However, for a weak thruster fault, that is, when the loss of effectiveness of thrusters is less than 10%, the following two problems occur if the conventional method is used.

In the field of laser ablation micro-propulsion, the property of double-layer tape has significant impact on the propulsion performance. In this paper, low temperature plasma was used to treat the surface of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) to improve its adhesion with energetic polymer. The PET surface pre- and post-plasma treatment was characterized by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and atomic force microscopy (AFM), and the enhancement mechanism of the interface adhesion was discussed.

Space electroosmotic thrusters (EOTs) are theoretically investigated in a soft charged nanochannel with a dense polyelectrolyte layer (PEL), which is considered to be more realistic than a low-density PEL. When the PEL is dense, its permittivity is smaller than the one of the electrolyte solution layer, leading to rearrangement of ions in the channel, which is denoted as the ion partitioning effect. It is noted that fluid viscosity becomes high within the PEL owing to the hydration effect.
