Abstract This article presents the implementation and validation of a speed control strategy for an underactuated autonomous surface vehicle (ASV), based on a combination of a set-membership extended state observer (ESO) and a backstepping-based control law. The estimation process relies solely on position and orientation measurements with bounded noise. A theoretical adjustment is performed to adapt the control strategy to the experimentally identified model of the vessel, introducing an inverse identification that simplifies speed control, thereby reducing computational load. Experimental results confirm the stability and robustness of the control strategy under varying reference conditions, while also validating the efficacy of the inverse model and estimator, which are specifically designed for real-world environments.
