This paper presents a set of navigation, control and allocation algorithm suitable for underwater vehicles equipped with inertial measurement unit, underwater positioning systems and fixed thrusters with asymmetric response. All the algorithms are detailed in this document together with simulation results and comments. Low computational demand and well-established methods make the proposed combination of navigation, guidance and control system suitable for reliable AUV operations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
