Considering system uncertainties, cavitation water, tether force and other unknown external
disturbances, this paper proposes a model-parameter-free nonsingular fixed-time sliding …

Path following control plays an essential role in improving accuracy of navigation and
achieving a smooth motion control. However, the performance will exhibit large lateral errors …

Underwater tank cleaning using robotic method is very crucial due to the concern on the
diver's safety in undisrupted water supply operation. A Remotely Operated Underwater …

Exploiting preview information of disturbances within robot control is an effective method of
handling state perturbations. For underwater vehicles operating in wave-dominated …

Towed underwater vehicles are essential tools for providing safe access to the underwater
world with many applications including ocean research, naval operations, inspection and …

This paper is concerned with the state estimation problem of a robotic unmanned surface
vehicle with the measurements of Global Positioning System (GPS) and Inertial …

In this paper, an adaptive algorithm is developed which senses the road condition change
and estimates a (time-varying) optimal braking slip ratio. This is conducted by two on-line …

Marine growth is a severe problem to offshore structures causing additional weight, increase
in surface area, and roughness resulting in larger wave loads. Historically, the offshore Oil & …

In marine missions that involve 3D path following tasks, the overall goal of Underwater
Vehicles (UVs) is the successful completion of a path previously specified by the operator …

Inertial navigation system (INS) is the most common positioning system in the underwater
vehicle due to the limitations of penetration of the global navigation system. Amendment of …
