Autonomous Underwater Vehicles: Singular Extremals and Chattering
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we consider the time minimal problem for an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle. We investigate, on a simplified model, the existence of singular extremals and discuss their optimality status. Moreover, we prove that singular extremals corresponding to the angular acceleration are of order 2. We produce in this case a semicanonical form of our Hamiltonian system and we can conclude the existence of chattering extremals.. keywords: Underwater Vehicles, Time optimal, Singular Extremals, Chattering.

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...

In this paper, we study time-optimal trajectories for fully actuated planar underwater vehicles, with constraints on input forces. Using the Maximum Principle, we focus on the structure of singular extremals and their possible optimality.

متن کاملInvestigation on Nose and Tail Shape Effects on Hydrodynamic Parameters in Autonomous Underwater Vehicles
Development of autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) which meets the design constraints and provides the best hydrodynamic performance is really an important challenge in the field of hydrodynamics. In this paper a new profile is used for designing the hull of AUVs. The nose and tail profiles of an AUV using presented profile is designed such that it can properly consider the length constraints...
متن کاملUnderwater vehicles: a surprising non time-optimal path
This paper deals with the time-optimal problem for a class of underwater vehicles. We prove that if two configurations at rest can be joined by a horizontal or a vertical translation in the body frame coordinates, then there exists a shorter path. Our computations are based on the maximum principle and use that translations in the body frame coordinates are time-equivalent to paths formed by co...
