Nonlinear multiple-input-multiple-output adaptive backstepping control of underwater glider systems
International Journal of Advanced Robotic Systems, 2016 In this article, an adaptive backstepping control is proposed for multi-input and multi-output nonlinear underwater glider systems. The developed method is established on the basis of the state-space equations, which are simplified from the full glider ...
