Abstract: This paper investigates the finite-time control problem of three-dimensional (3D) trajectory tracking for autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) in the presence of model uncertainties and external disturbances. First, a novel control strategy integrating finite-time prescribed performance (FTPP) with global fast terminal sliding mode control (GFTSMC) is developed. Specifically, the FTPP function is used to prescribe a time-varying performance boundary for the tracking error, whereas the GFTSMC method facilitates finite-time convergence of the system. Then, to further improve robustness, a third-order finite-time extended state observer (FTESO) is designed to estimate and compensate lumped disturbances caused by model uncertainties and external disturbances in real time. Finally, by using Lyapunov theory and finite-time control theory, the finite-time stability of the FTESO and the overall closed-loop system is proved. The simulation results demonstrate that, under a 20% variation in hydrodynamic parameters, the proposed controller achieves quicker convergence and enhanced robustness compared with other methods. • FTPP-GFTSMC achieves finite-time AUV tracking within prescribed bounds. • A third-order FTESO rejects lumped disturbances in finite time. • Lyapunov theory proves finite-time stability of the observer and system.
