A Neural Network Adaptive Controller for Autonomous Diving Control of an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle

چکیده
This paper presents a neural network adaptive controller for autonomous diving control of an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) using adaptive backstepping method. In general, the dynamics of underwater robotics vehicles (URVs) are highly nonlinear and the hydrodynamic coefficients of vehicles are difficult to be accurately determined a priori because of variations of these coefficients with different operating conditions. In this paper, the smooth unknown dynamics of a vehicle is approximated by a neural network, and the remaining unstructured uncertainties, such as disturbances and unmodeled dynamics, are assumed to be unbounded, although they still satisfy certain growth conditions characterized by ‘bounding functions’ composed of known functions multiplied by unknown constants. Under certain relaxed assumptions pertaining to the control gain functions, the proposed control scheme can guarantee that all the signals in the closed-loop system satisfy to be uniformly ultimately bounded (UUB). Simulation studies are included to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme, and some practical features of the control laws are also discussed.

متن کاملA neural network adaptive controller design for free-pitch-angle diving behavior of an autonomous underwater vehicle
This paper presents a neural network adaptive controller for diving control of an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV). In general, while deriving the diving equations of an AUV, the pitch angle of the vehicle is often assumed to be small in the diving motion. This is a somewhat strong restricting condition in many practical applications, and would be broken in this paper. Furthermore, because t...
