This paper explores the problem of coordinated control of multiple autonomous underwater vehicle system (MAUVS) in the real-world tasks such as environmental exploration and oceanographic sampling. These tasks involve solving a distributed multi-agent planning problem in which the actions of underwater vehicles are tightly coupled. A distributed control architecture MOOS-IvP is applied to the MAUVS...
This paper describes an investigation into the coordination of multiple autonomous underwater vehicle system (MAUVS). In order for MAUVS to work efficiently in such scenarios as oceanographic data gathering, a market-based approach to coordination of multiple underwater vehicles is proposed. In this approach, robots on the team act as self-interested agents and a virtual economy environment in which...
This paper describes an investigation into the cooperation of multiple autonomous underwater vehicle system( MAUVS). A distributed control architecture MOOS-IvP (which was proposed by Newman at Oxford and Benjamin at MIT) is applied. In this approach, fully distributed control of underwater vehicles is realized and behavior-based control strategy is used to ensure a timely reaction of the vehicles...
This Paper describes an investigation into the cooperation of multiple autonomous underwater vehicles. A distributed control architecture MOOS-IvP (which was proposed by Newman at oxford and Benjamin at MIT) is applied to the multiple underwater vehicle system (MAUVS). In this architecture, a behavior based cooperative control strategy is used and a new method for behavior fusion is introduced. In...
In this paper, the hydrodynamic performances of unsteady flapping foil were studied by panel method based on potential flow theory. The flapping foil had a coupling motion of rolling and pitching. The calculation process of panel method was realized by the FORTRAN procedure. The calculation results of average thrust coefficient by the procedure accordance well with the MIT experiment data. Then the...
In nature a lot of fishes realize to suspend itself in water, to go forward and to move back up by the pectoral fin moving complexly. So that it is significant theoretically and valuable for practical application to investigate the propulsive principle and hydrodynamic performance of pectoral fin and find the method utilizing the pectoral fin to maneuver the underwater bio-robot agilely. The pectoral...
As sliding mode (SMC) control has just a unitary switching face, the system converges slowly at the origin. An improvement was made to the linear switching surface of SMC for autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) in this paper. A polyline switching surface was proposed, velocity control and velocity control at appointed positions were realized. The improved switching surface was made up of the lines...
