چکیده

The development of an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle is a complex process that usually needs different sub-process like simulation, implementation and experimentation. Frequently these processes are disconnected among them and require rewriting the code increasing the probability of error. This paper presents an hybrid control architecture, named OOCAA, for an underwater agent. The OOCAA, Object Oriented Control Architecture for Autonomy, was designed as an object-oriented architecture that simplifies the interconnection of the different processes commented above. Simulation and real execution are interconnected through graphical applications allowing the use of the real code and real hardware of the robot to simulate a mission in the laboratory. Once the code is tested in the laboratory, real experiments can be done. The paper describes the overall OOCAA architecture, the reactive layer that has been already implemented and the tools used for simulation, implementation and experimentation. The control architecture is being implemented in the GARBI underwater robot.

Identification 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...

Adaptive Robust Control for Trajectory Tracking of Autonomous underwater Vehicles on Horizontal Plane

This manuscript addresses trajectory tracking problem of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) on the horizontal plane. Adaptive sliding mode control is employed in order to achieve a robust behavior against some uncertainty and ocean current disturbances, assuming that disturbance and its derivative are bounded by unknown boundary levels. The proposed approach is based on a dual layer adaptive...

Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Hull Geometry Optimization Using a Multi-objective Algorithm Approach

Abstarct In this paper, a new approach to optimize an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) hull geometry is presented. Using this methode, the nose and tail of an underwater vehicle are designed, such that their length constraints due to the arrangement of different components in the AUV body are properly addressed. In the current study, an optimal design for the body profile of a torpedo-shaped...
