Planar Motion Steering of Underwater Vehicles by Exploiting Drag Coefficient Modulation
نویسندگان
چکیده
An underwater planar vehicle, actuated by rear thrusters and equipped with longitudinal control surfaces which allow the drag coefficient modulation in the sway direction, is considered in a dynamic setting. The maneuvring controls for the vehicle, in order to reach the required final position and attitude are devised by exploiting both the rear thrusters actuation and the capability offered by the admitted presence of the longitudinal, modulable, control surfaces.

Investigation of Hydrodynamic Derivatives of an AUV Based on the Water Tunnel Testing Maneuvers
Coefficients or hydrodynamic derivatives of autonomous underwater vehicles play a key role in their development. The most popular way for the estimation of coefficient is to implement captive model tests such as straight line tests and planar motion mechanism tests in towing tanks. In this paper, investigation of hydrodynamic derivatives was performed based on the water tunnel maneuvers. Forces...

The total length of the underwater glider with two wings is 900 ...
متن کاملAdaptive 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...
