摘要
This paper develops an adaptive output feedback controller that forces an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV), named Omni-Directional Intelligent Navigator (ODIN), to track a desired trajectory with bounded errors in wave disturbance condition. An adaptive controller is introduced based on a nonlinear model whose measurable output is corrupted by wave disturbances. Thus an observer is built to reconstruct the full states including wave velocity, wave motion displacement, vehicles velocity, position and rotation angle information which are used in the output feedback controller. Ultimate boundedness of the error signals is shown through Lyapunovs direct method. Finally, simulation studies for ODIN illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed control scheme.
