This paper aims to provide a review of the conceptual design and theoretical framework of
the main control schemes proposed in the literature for unmanned underwater vehicles …

Autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) have broad applications owing to their small size,
low weight, strong ability to operate autonomously, and ability to replace humans in …

Fuzzy logic control, due to its simple control structure, easy and cost-effective design, has
been successfully employed to the application of guidance and control in robotic fields. This …

Complex and highly coupled dynamics, time-variance, unpredictable disturbances and lack
of knowledge of hydrodynamic parameters, complicate the control of underwater vehicles …

In this paper, we consider depth control problems of an autonomous underwater vehicle
(AUV) for tracking the desired depth trajectories. Due to the unknown dynamical model and …

In this paper, an adaptive fuzzy with a nonlinear PID (AFNLPID) controller is suggested to
solve and eliminate the effect of the disturbances regularly caused by the ocean currents …

During missions at sea, underwater vehicles are exposed to changes in the parameters of
the system and subject to persistent external disturbances. These issues make the design of …

This paper investigates the trajectory tracking control problem for autonomous underwater
vehicles whose initial starting position differs substantially from that specified by the desired …

During sea missions, underwater vehicles are often exposed to changes in the parameters
of their control systems and subject to external disturbances due to the influences of ocean …

This paper presents a new generalized super-twisting algorithm (GSTA) controller with a
time-delay estimator (TDE) for the tracking control of an autonomous underwater vehicle …
