  • Development and research of position-trajectorial controller for underwater glider motion control

    This article reviews the process of glider motion control system development based on position-trajectorial controller, developed by V.Pshikhopov. A mathematical model of an underwater glider is reviewed briefly, this model uses variable buoyancy for movement. Control system uses position-trajectorial controller which uses two controll variables for straight gliding and turning. The article contains results of modelling the motion control system in various modes such as straight gliding, gliding with turning and following a set of points. A brief description of practical usage of the control system is given.

  • Development of the USV path planner based on the unstable mode

    In the article, the method of designing the path planning on the basis of an unstable mode is described. This method is based on the bionic approach and does not require mapping, it reduces requirements for the sensor subsystem. In this article, we propose a method of obstacle avoidance in which an unstable mode is realized in a separate dynamic link. The output of the dynamic link corrects the desired course of unmanned surface vehicle (USV). This allows to set the unstable trajectory of motion only at the planning level, and at the regulatory level to function in a stable mode. In addition, this approach allows you to plan the direction of detour travel. Detailed description of the proposed path planner, as well as the results of the research in Matlab are provided in the article.

  • Control of distributed underwater robot systems using reference adaptive model

    This paper presents an approach to organize the group control underwater vehicles based on multi-loop adaptation algorithm of position-trajectory control system of moving object, with the estimating unmeasured parameters, reference model and contour that ensure astatism 2nd order. Estimation of unmeasured disturbances on the top control level as part of the reference model, which allows for highly accurate positioning of the final master AUV in the target point specified as a parameter to the reference model. The application of the developed algorithm expedient in control systems of moving objects group, where a single object from the leading group, and its parameters are used as the parameters of the reference model. The leading mobile object control system uses an adaptive control system with disturbance estimation. The control systems of the slave moving objects using positional-trajectory control system astatism second order, thereby providing high-precision tracking of the movement of the reference mobile object.

  • Position-Trajectory System of Direct Adaptive Control Marine Autonomous Vehicles

    From the point of view of development of control systems, a significant disadvantage of indirect adaptive control systems of moving objects is the fact that the limiting the properties of such system are determined by the basic adaptive regulator. In other words, to solve the problem of adaptive control it is required to find a non-adaptive regulator, which solves the problem of marine autonomous vehicles. In this case, the adaptive controller replaces many controllers that solve the control of multiple objects in a non-adaptive domain. The paper presents method of direct adaptive control for marine autonomous vehicles. Nonlinear mathematical models are considered. The method is based on position-trajectory control approach. It is proved the designed by suggested method controller is a vector nonlinear PI-regulator. The regulator ensures asymptotical stability of the closed-loop control system.
