The primary motivation for this work is the compensation needed for the added mass common to surface vessels, resulting in an asymmetric inertia matrix. Two control schemes are considered: a full-state feedback controller and an output feedback controller. Numerical simulation results are shown to demonstrate the validity of these proposed controllers.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessFeedback controlComputer simulationNavigationNonlinear control systemsState feedbackConference Object2-s2.0-5244908921510.1109/ACC.2008.458654810.1109/ACC.2008.4586548
