Underwater vehicles are usually designed with additional degrees of freedom than those required to accomplish given manipulator tasks. A robot platform should be effective to maintain its position and orientation in order to attain diverse underwater tasks. This study addresses the dynamic modeling of an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) which consists of tilting thrusters for hovering motion to...
This paper describes a complex approach for solving the problem of fast and high qualitative performing of underwater manipulative operations in underwater vehicle hovering mode. The amended recursive algorithm for solving of inverse problem of a multilink underwater manipulator dynamic was developed in this work. Presented algorithm provides precision calculating of undesirable influences on the...
As applications for autonomous ocean vehicles expand into more dynamic and constrained environments, such as shallow, coastal areas, the benefits of using more precise dynamic model for control and estimation become more compelling. This paper presents a nonlinear observer for current estimation based on AUV dynamic model. Here, AUV dynamic model in currents is taken into consideration. Motivated...
Control and guidance of Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) is tedious process as it is an underactuated model where the numbers of inputs to the actuator are less than the number of degrees-of-freedom to be controlled; also the dynamics of AUV is affected by internal interruptions like sensor noise and exterior distractions namely hydrodynamic effects and ocean current. The difficulty of uncertainty...
Underwater vehicle is an important tool in the exploration, survey and investigation of the ocean and have many scientific, military, and commercial applications. To develop an underwater vehicle is not an easy task; a reliable underwater vehicle requires a thorough system design and many costly field tests during which system specifications can be validated, and these field tests can be hard and...
The efficient control of buoyancy with low power is critically important in the design of new age ‘Autonomous Underwater Vehicles/Gliders (AUVs/Gs)’. This paper presents a ‘Computer Simulation Model (CSM)’ for the primary design of ‘Variable Buoyancy System (VBS)’ for AUVs/AUGs to efficient control buoyancy and the simulation model is built in the environment of integration, modular architecture and...
Seagull is a small fully functional underwater glider designed for oceanographic research with 1 knot operating speed and six months duration. In this paper, we present the design of this glider and analyze its performance. The Seagull glider uses a piston-based buoyancy engine system with an inexpensive gear pump as the main system actuator. The Seagull's emergency release system is characterized...
