Abstract Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) have been focused on by research
efforts because of their extensive applications in scientific, commercial as well as military …

Autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) navigation and localization in underwater
environments is particularly challenging due to the rapid attenuation of Global Positioning …

Underactuated robotics is an emerging research direction in the field of robotics. The control
input of the underactuated robot is less than the degree of freedom of the system. It has the …

An underactuated mechanical system (UMS) is a system which has fewer independent
control actuators than degrees of freedom to be controlled. Control of UMS is considered as …

Formation control is a cooperative control concept in which multiple autonomous underwater
mobile robots are deployed for a group motion and/or control mission. This paper presents a …

This paper studies target tracking control of underactuated autonomous underwater vehicles
in the presence of model uncertainties and environmental disturbances. Dynamic surface …

This study addresses the input–output feedback linearisation and the internal dynamics
stability of an underactuated autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) in three‐dimensional …

This paper investigates three-dimensional target tracking control problem of underactuated
autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) by using coordinates transformation and multi …

Underwater navigation presents crucial issues because of the rapid attenuation of electronic
magnetic waves. The conventional underwater navigation methods are achieved by …

This paper proposes the robust swing-up and balancing control method using a nonlinear
disturbance observer for the pendubot system in the presence of dynamic friction. First, the …
