This paper presents homing and docking autopilot design for the autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV). A nonlinear interrelated dynamic model of the underwater vehicle is considered. The AUV autopilot is designed on base of a position-trajectory control method. Adaptation of the control system is based on robust disturbances estimation. Modeling and hardware results approved feasibility of the proposed methods.

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.

This paper presented a new method based on the Fuzzy self - adaptive PID for BLDCM. This method overcomes some defects of the traditional PID control. Such as lower control precision and worse anti - jamming performance. It dynamic model of BLDCM was built, and then design method for TS fuzzy PID model is given, At last, it compared simulation results of PID control method with TS Fuzzy PID control method. The results show that the TS Fuzzy PID control method has more excellent dynamic antistatic performances, as well as anti-jamming performance. The experiment shows that TS fuzzy PID control has the stronger adaptability robustness and transplant.

Two safe navigation algorithms for autonomous underwater vehicles are described: algorithm for avoidance of point obstacles including all the moving underwater and surface objects, and limited size bottom objects, and algorithm for bypassing extended obstacles such as bottom elevations, rough lower ice edge, garbage patches. These algorithms are developed for a control system of a heavyweight autonomous underwater vehicle.

Underwater vehicle speed control methodology method is the focus of research in this study. Driven by a hydraulic flexible traction system, the underwater vehicle advances steadily on underwater guide rails, simulating an underwater environment for the carried device. Considering the influence of steel rope viscoelasticity and the control system traction structure feature, a mathematical model of the underwater vehicle driven by hydraulic flexible traction system is established. A speed control strategy is then proposed based on the sliding mode variable structure of fuzzy reaching law, according to nonlinearity and external variable load of the vehicle speed control system. Sliding mode variable structure control theory for the nonlinear system allows an improved control effect for movements in “sliding mode” when compared with conventional control. The fuzzy control theory is also introduced, weakening output chattering caused by the sliding mode control switchover while producing high output stability. Matlab mathematical simulation and practical test verification indicate the speed control method as effective in obtaining accurate control results, thus inferring strong practical significance for engineering applications.

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.
