The application of Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) is expanding rapidly, which drives the urgent need of its autonomy improvement. Motion control system is one of the keys to improve the control and decision-making ability of AUVs. In this paper, a saturation based nonlinear fractional-order PD (FOPD) controller is proposed for AUV motion control. The proposed controller is can achieve better dynamic performance as well as robustness compared with traditional PID type controller. It also has the advantages of simple structure, easy adjustment and easy implementation. The stability of the AUV motion control system with the proposed controller is analyzed through Lyapunov method. Moreover, the controlled performance can also be adjusted to satisfy different control requirements. The outperformed dynamic control performance of AUV yaw and depth systems with the proposed controller is shown by the set-point regulation and trajectory tracking simulation examples.

This paper introduces the implementation of intelligent motion control and planning for autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV). Previously developed control system features intelligent motion control and planning subsystem, based on artificial neural networks. It allows detecting and avoiding moving obstacles in front of the AUV. The motion control subsystem uses position-trajectory control method to position AUV, move from point to point and along given path with given speed. Control system was tested in the multi-module simulation complex. Simulation showed good results – AUV successfully achieved given goals avoiding collisions not only with static obstacles, but also with mobile ones. That allows using the proposed control system for the groups of vehicles. Besides simulation, control system was implemented in hardware. AUV prototype passed tests in Azov Sea and proved its efficiency.


Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUV) are slowly operated unmanned robots which Capable of propelling on pre-defined mission tracks independently under the water surface and are frequently used for oceanographic exploration, bathymetric surveys and defense applications. This AUV can perform underwater object recognition and obstacle avoidance with the use of appropriate sensors and devices. Vidyut is a miniature AUV developed at Sri Sairam Institute of Technology. The vehicle is equipped with six thrusters which allow for motion control in 6 Dof and has a non-conventional single hull heavy bottom hydrodynamic design. This paper discusses different aspects of the vehicle's unique design. The output of the Arduino Uno controller has been discussed for continuous depth and heading control.
