AUTONOMOUS UNDERWATER VEHICLE ROBUST CONTROL [PDF]
The International Conference on Electrical Engineering, 2006 ABSTRACTThis paper discusses the autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) control performanceunder uncertainty using two different methods, linear quadratic (LQ) servo with commandfollowing and sliding mode control (SMC). In spite of the uncertainty in our evaluations ofthe hydrodynamic forces, it is fortunate that the use of feedback control is able to ...
