  • A consensus algorithm proposed in the paper is applied to tackle remarkable problems of unmeasurable velocities, the environmental disturbances, and the limited communication environment for the multiple unmanned underwater vehicles (multi-UUVs). Firstly, for a complex nonlinear and coupled model of the unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV), a technique of feedback linearization is developed to transform the nonlinear UUV model into a second-order integral UUV model. Secondly, to address the problem of the unavailable velocity information and environmental disturbances for the multi-UUVs system, we design a distributed extended state observer (DESO) to estimate the unmeasurable velocities and environmental disturbances using the relative position information. Finally, we propose a protocol based on the estimation information from the DESO and demonstrate that the multi-UUVs system with the switching directed topologies under the protocol can reach consensus asymptotically. The theoretical result proposed in the literature is verified by one numerical example.
