Abstract:Nowadays autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) are employed as unmanned machines in ocean industries. For instance AUVs play an important role in coastal area monitoring and investigating underwater pipe line in deep seas. In this paper, navigation of an AUV near free surface and the effect of wave disturbance and unmodeled hydrodynamics as uncertain terms in control system are addressed. To stabilize the roll motion of the vehicle a practical control mode in mini-UVs is applied. Firstly, a 6-DOF nonlinear dyn… Show more
