Autonomous Underwater Vehicles

Modeling, Control Design and Simulation

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Highlighting the unique and difficult design and control problems related to autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs), this book explains the impact of nonlinear dynamics, uncertain models, and unforeseeable environmental interferences and disturbances on AUV control. It emphasizes the importance of vehicle adherence to a precise trajectory and stabilization. Particularly valuable to researchers is the book's detailed coverage of mathematical analysis as it applies to controllability, motion planning, feedback, modeling, robust control, and other concepts involved in nonlinear control design.
