Resumen

The complex underwater environment poses significant challenges for unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs), particularly in terms of communication constraints and the need for precise cooperative obstacle avoidance and trajectory tracking. Addressing these challenges solely through position information is crucial in this field. This study explores the intricate task of managing a group of UUVs as they navigate obstacles and follow a given trajectory, all based on position information. A new dynamic interactive topology framework utilizing sonar technology has been developed for the UUVs. This framework not only provides position information for the UUV swarm but also for the surrounding obstacles, enhancing situational awareness. Additionally, a bio-inspired cooperative control strategy designed for UUV swarms utilizing sonar interaction topology is introduced. This innovative method eliminates the need for velocity data from neighboring UUVs, instead relying solely on position information to achieve swarm cooperative control, obstacle avoidance, and trajectory adherence. The effectiveness of this method is validated through extensive simulations. The results show that the proposed method demonstrates improved sensitivity in obstacle detection, enabling faster trajectory tracking while maintaining a safer distance compared to traditional methods. Ultimately, this innovative strategy not only enhances operational efficiency but also enhances safety measures in UUV swarm operations.
