Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
This paper proposes a distributed finite-time velocity-free robust formation control scheme for multiple underactuated autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) under switching directed topologies in the presence of uncertain dynamics and unknown time-varying external disturbances. Here, a novel finite-time velocity observer is created for each AUV to estimate its neighbors’ velocities within a finite time so that only its neighbors’ positions need to be transmitted, which reduces the communication burden between AUVs. Then, a super-twisting extended state observer is constructed for each AUV to estimate its total disturbances lumped by the uncertain dynamics and the unknown time-varying external disturbances, whose estimation errors can converge to zero within a finite time. Further, a distributed finite-time velocity-free robust formation control law is proposed incorporating the above into the nonsingular terminal sliding mode technique. Theoretical analysis and simulation results indicate that the proposed formation control law can make the multiple AUVs achieve the desired formation pattern while guaranteeing the formation errors converge to zero within a finite time.
