Aiming at the dynamic operation requirements of complex water environment, the project pioneered the theory and method of phase transformation regulation of unmanned vehicle swarm formation，established the two-layer networked cooperative control framework of unmanned vehicle cluster, inventedthe core components such as collaborative phase transformation control of heterogeneous unmanned vehicle cluster formation, realized the dynamic task-driven evolution control of the cluster formation.A method combining high precision control and instability recovery strategy of the unmanned vehicle is proposed, and a vector water jet propeller and all-electric propulsion control system are developed and realized high precision and stable speed, course, track and positioning control of the unmanned vehicle. A multi-boat and multi-source sensor fusion sensing detection and target recognition and tracking system was invented, which realized accurate target recognition in complex water environment.The project developed a complete set of heterogeneous cluster equipment consisting of 3 types of 10 unmanned vehicle.
The project applied for 46 invention patents, 24 authorized invention patents and 11 software Copyrights;Developed 4 new products, led the development of 3 national standards, 4 enterprise standards;He has published 45 SCI papers, including 42papers in the first section of JCR.
The results have been applied to the detection of major Marine facilities such as the Shenzhen-Middle Passage Cross-sea Immersed Tube Tunnel, the detection of some ports and waterways in the Pearl River Estuary, the water quality detection and water surface pollution cleanup in the Dongjiang and Wanjiang rivers, and the detection of fishery resources. It has been successfully applied to well-known enterprises, colleges and research institutes in China, and has become the core configuration and important task load. It has played an important role in the construction of complex waters and achieved significant economic and social benefits.
