Fuzzy Logic Control for an Autonomous Underwater Crawler
نویسنده
چکیده
Current underwater crawling vehicles could benefit by using rotating head sonar data to avoid collisions with obstacles. We have developed and optimized a fuzzy logic controller using software for simulation of an underwater environment. The optimization results show near an order of magnitude increase in performance over both straight line and lawnmower search patterns with relatively small changes in the system parameters. The fuzzy logic controller has the capability of navigating a crawler safely and quickly between mission specific points.

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...
متن کاملCrawler Control Strategies and Their Influence on Mine Finding Capabilities
Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) have found a permanent application doing mine countermeasures (MCM). Autonomous crawlers can be used to perform mine search patterns, but in doing so can encounter many problems, one of which is obstacles. For a crawler, knowing how to avoid obstacles and what to do after avoiding obstacles is important to performing searches quickly and effectively. A fuzz...
متن کاملA Study of Autonomous Docking with an AUV Using Intelligent Controls
Autonomous docking using underwater vehicles will play an important role in long-term underwater explorations and surveys. The autonomous docking mission for an autonomous underwater vehicle at a stationary platform involves a vehicle and a platform matching both position, orientation and velocity. The docking missions therefore require intelligent control systems for precise and soft operation...
متن کاملCollision Avoidance of Moving Obstacles for Underwater Robots
A fuzzy logic for autonomous navigation of underwater robot is proposed in this paper. The VFF(Virtual Force Field) algorithm, which is widely used in the field of mobile robot, is modified for application to the autonomous navigation of underwater robot. This Modified Virtual Force Field(MVFF) algorithm using the fuzzy logic can be used in either track keeping or obstacle avoidance. Fuzzy logi...
متن کاملFuzzy Tracking Controller for Underwater Robotic Vehicles
A fuzzy autopilot for track-keeping control of underwater vehicles is considered. Input variables fuzzification, fuzzy rules and output set defuzzification are described. Quality of control of the fuzzy tracking controller under influence of the sea current disturbance was analysed and compared to a traditional PD controller. Some computer simulations are provided to demonstrate the effectivene...
