LFT/H∞ varying sampling control for Autonomous Underwater Vehicles
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper deals with the robust control of an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) subject to communication constraints. The aim is the design of a gain-scheduled varying sampling controller using non periodic measurements from ultrasonic sensors. The contribution of this work lies in a new model formulation of varying sampling discrete-time systems using the Linear Fractional Transformation (LFT) representation. This allows to design, in the LFT context, an H∞ controller whose matrices are scheduled w.r.t the varying control interval. Moreover the proposed design ensures a performance adaptation when the sampling interval varies. This methodology is developed for AUV and emphasizes important improvements compared with an H∞ discrete-time control with fixed sampling.

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...

متن کاملRobust Control for an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle that suppresses Pitch and Yaw Coupling
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 fac...
