Position and Attitude Control of an Underactuated Autonomous Underwater Vehicle

چکیده
The paper considers control of an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) with a reduced number of actua-tors. A nonlinear model describing both the dynamics and the kinematics of an AUV is studied. A continuous periodic time-varying feedback law is presented. It is shown that it exponentially stabilizes the total AUV model using only four actuators. Furthermore, it is shown that if the hydrodynamic restoring forces in roll are large enough, the AUV is exponentially stabilized by this feedback law using only three actuators. Simulation results are presented.

متن کاملAutonomous Control for a Differential Thrust ROV
Smaller autonomous underwater vehicles that use differential thrust for surge and yaw motion control has the advantage of low cost and, at the same time, increased ma neuverability in yaw direction. However, since such vehicles are underactuated vehicles, design of an autonomous control system that enables the vehicle to autonomously track a predefined trajectory is challenging. In this paper,...

متن کاملIdentification of an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Dynamic Using Extended Kalman Filter with ARMA Noise Model
In the procedure of designing an underwater vehicle or robot, its maneuverability and controllability must be simulated and tested, before the product is finalized for manufacturing. Since the hydrodynamic forces and moments highly affect the dynamic and maneuverability of the system, they must be estimated with a reasonable accuracy. In this study, hydrodynamic coefficients of an autonomous un...
متن کاملOPTIMIZED FUZZY CONTROL DESIGN OF AN AUTONOMOUS UNDERWATER VEHICLE
In this study, the roll, yaw and depth fuzzy control of an Au- tonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) are addressed. Yaw and roll angles are regulated only using their errors and rates, but due to the complexity of depth dynamic channel, additional pitch rate quantity is used to improve the depth loop performance. The discussed AUV has four aps at the rear of the vehicle as actuators. Two rule bases...
