Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsVehicle-Fixed-Frame Adaptive Controller and Intrinsic Nonlinear PID Controller for Attitude Stabilization of a Complex-Shaped Underwater VehicleChanaka Thushitha Bandara, Lakmali Nadeesha Kumari, Sanjeeva Maithripala, Asanga RatnaweeraIn this study we present attitude stabilization using a vehicle-fixed-frame adaptive controller and an intrinsic nonlinear PID controller for a low-speed Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV), of complex shape. Controlling an AUV poses a huge challenge because of the non-linearity, time variance and unpredictable external disturbance, as well as because its dynamics and hydrodynamic parameters are difficult to identify due to … …Journal of Mechatronics and Robotics, Vol. 4, Issue 1 · 7 Dec 2020 · 6,992 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractTwist Springback Measurement of Autonomous Underwater Vehicle Propeller Blade Based on Profile DeviationAhmad Baharuddin Abdullah, Mohd Sapuan Salit, Zahurin Samad et al.Geometrical defects that are attributable to springback are among the major defects induced by the sheet metal forming process. Such defects are critical for sections with varying thickness, such as Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) propeller blades. In this study, the springback in the twist-bending of an AA6061 propeller blade was quantified by comparing the targeted and manufactured profiles obtained using … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 10, Issue 5 · 31 May 2013 · 7,383 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Self-Tuning Proportional-Integral-Derivative Controller for an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle, Based On Taguchi MethodM. Santhakumar, T. AsokanProblem statement: Conventional Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) controllers exhibit moderately good performance once the PID gains are properly tuned. However, when the dynamic characteristics of the system are time dependent or the operating conditions of the system vary, it is necessary to retune the gains to obtain desired performance. This situation has renewed the interest of researchers and practitioners in PID control. … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2010 · 7,859 accessesView PDF Cite
