Abstract:An autonomous underwater vehicle with four thrusters is reexamined from the viewpoints of derivation of a time-varying model. First, a bilinear model can be derived without depending on a chained form transformation, instead depending on partial linearization in inputs and on linearization of partial attitudes. Next, it can be transformed into a time varying system that includes partially discontinuous states, and then an exponentially stabilizing method can be applied to its model to solve a stabilization pro… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based startup that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
