Resumen
A three-degrees-of-freedom model, including surge, sway and yaw motion, with differential thrusters is proposed to describe unmanned surface vehicle (USV) dynamics in this study. The experiment is carried out in the Qing Huai River and the data obtained from different zigzag trajectories are filtered by a Gaussian filtering method. A physics-informed neural network (PINN) is proposed to identify the dynamic models of the USV. PINNs combine the advantages of data-driven machine learning and physical models. They can also embed the speed and steering models into the loss function, which can significantly retain all types of information. Compared with traditional neural networks, the results show that the PINN has better generalization ability in predicting the surge and sway velocities and rotation speed with only limited training data.
