Fixed-Time Trajectory Tracking Control of Autonomous Surface Vehicle with Model Uncertainties and Disturbances by Jiawen Cui, Haibin Sun

“…The major contributions include the following: (1) An integral sliding mode controller (ISMC) via integral sliding mode surface is first proposed, which can ensure that the system states can follow the desired trajectory within a fixed time. (2) Unknown external disturbances are absolutely estimated by means of designing a fixed-time disturbance observer (FTDO). …”
