    Abstract

    In this paper we propose discontinuous control laws to globally stabilize a target position for a hovercraft. Equations of motion of the hovercraft are derived through a kinematic model approximation of a dynamic model taken from the literature. Discontinuous feedback laws for the kinematic and the dynamic model are derived and analyzed using a hybrid systems formulation of the closed-loop dynamics. Numerical simulations confirm the theoretical results and validate the kinematic model as a accurate simplification of the dynamic model.
