This article studies the cooperative underwater payload transportation problem for multiple unmanned underwater vehicles (UUVs) operating in a constrained workspace with both static and dynamic obstacles. A novel cooperative formation control algorithm has been presented in this paper for the transportation of a large payload in underwater scenarios. More precisely, by using the advantages of multi-UUV formation cooperation, based on rigidity graph theory and backstepping technology, the distance between each UUV, as well as the UUV and the transport payload, is controlled to form a three-dimensional rigid structure so that the load remains balanced and stable, to coordinate the transport of objects within the feasible area of the workspace. Moreover, a neural network (NN) is utilized to maintain system stability despite unknown nonlinearities and disturbances in the system dynamics. In addition, based on the interfered fluid flow algorithm, a collision-free motion trajectory was planned for formation systems. The control scheme also performs real-time formation reconfiguration according to the size and position of obstacles in space, thereby enhancing the flexibility of cooperative handling. The uniform ultimate boundedness of the formation distance errors is comprehensively demonstrated by utilizing the Lyapunov stability theory. Finally, the simulation results show that the UUVs can quickly form and maintain the desired formation, transport the payload along the planned trajectory to shuttle in multi-obstacle environments, verify the feasibility of the method proposed in this paper, and achieve the purpose of the collaborative transportation of large underwater payload by multiple UUVs and their targeted delivery.
