Robust Control for an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle that suppresses Pitch and Yaw Coupling
نویسنده
چکیده
Attitude control systems for autonomous underwater vehicles are often implemented with separate controllers for pitch motion in the vertical plane and yaw motion in the horizontal plane. We propose a novel time-varying model for a streamlined autonomous underwater vehicle that explicitly displays the coupling between yaw and pitch motion due to nonzero roll angle and/or roll rate. The model facilitates the use of a multi-input multi-output H∞ control design that is robust to yaw-pitch coupling. The efficacy of our approach is demonstrated with field trials.

OPTIMIZED 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...
