Visual inspection of hydroelectric dams using an autonomous underwater vehicle
This paper presents an automated solution to the visual inspection problem of hydroelectric dams. A small autonomous underwater vehicle, controllable in four degrees of freedom (surge, sway, heave, and yaw), is used for autonomously exploring the wall of a dam. The robot is easily programmed using a mission control language. Missions are executed by an intelligent control architecture that guid...
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...
متن کاملAutonomous Underwater Vehicle Systems
To understand the physical and biological relationships often requires high resolution sampling far exceeding present capabilities. If spatially adaptive sampling can be developed, data resolution can be greatly improved over that presently possible with conventional sensor platforms. One technique to achieve both spatially and temporally adaptive sampling is an Autonomous Oceanographic Samplin...
متن کاملAutonomous Underwater Vehicle Navigation
This paper surveys the problem of navigation for autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs). Marine robotics technology has undergone a phase of dramatic increase in capability in recent years. Navigation is one of the key challenges that limits our capability to use AUVs to address problems of critical importance to society. Good navigation information is essential for safe operation and recovery o...
متن کاملAdaptive Filter Applications to Autonomous Underwater Vehicle
A powerful adaptive filter algorithm for estimation of forces acting on an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV), and the corresponding adaptive control law which determines the desired heading commands are considered in this paper. Due to the complicated nature of AUV’s task and incorporation of the ocean current, uncertain parameters arise in thc equations of motion that constitute the AUV’s dy...
