This book was released on 2013-01 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book throws light on the fundamentals of designing and construction of a simple underwater Remotely Operated Vehicle(ROV). It explains how an economical ROV can be fabricated and used for numerous applications. This book is handy for college-level students to understand and implement basic concepts of underwater vehicles. We have even included pictures, calculations and test results of an actual ROV prototype that we built ourselves, thus providing you with information and guidance required to build an ROV right from scratch.

Download or read book Autonomous Underwater Vehicles written by Sabiha Wadoo and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2017-12-19 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Underwater vehicles present some difficult and very particular control system design problems. These are often the result of nonlinear dynamics and uncertain models, as well as the presence of sometimes unforeseeable environmental disturbances that are difficult to measure or estimate. Autonomous Underwater Vehicles: Modeling, Control Design, and Simulation outlines a novel approach to help readers develop models to simulate feedback controllers for motion planning and design. The book combines useful information on both kinematic and dynamic nonlinear feedback control models, providing simulation results and other essential information, giving readers a truly unique and all-encompassing new perspective on design. Includes MATLAB® Simulations to Illustrate Concepts and Enhance Understanding Starting with an introductory overview, the book offers examples of underwater vehicle construction, exploring kinematic fundamentals, problem formulation, and controllability, among other key topics. Particularly valuable to researchers is the book’s detailed coverage of mathematical analysis as it applies to controllability, motion planning, feedback, modeling, and other concepts involved in nonlinear control design. Throughout, the authors reinforce the implicit goal in underwater vehicle design—to stabilize and make the vehicle follow a trajectory precisely. Fundamentally nonlinear in nature, the dynamics of AUVs present a difficult control system design problem which cannot be easily accommodated by traditional linear design methodologies. The results presented here can be extended to obtain advanced control strategies and design schemes not only for autonomous underwater vehicles but also for other similar problems in the area of nonlinear control.

Book excerpt: We designed and fabricated four mini-autonomous underwater vehicles (mAUVs). These vehicles are used to provide an inexpensive method for testing communication and control algorithms for multiple vehicles. The vehicle testing is being performed at the NSWCCD Acoustic Research Detachment, ARD, in Bayview, Idaho. The mechanical-design of these vehicles was based in the Virginia Polytechnic Institute but with the addition of a Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute (WHOI) micro-modem that allowed for underwater communication and positioning. The control system for the mAUV also uses an innovative distributed computing approach developed at the UI consisting of multiple low-cost microcontrollers and was also different from the Virginia Polytechnic vehicle design. In addition, equipment for a Baseline Navigation System was included in this development to monitor and provide LBL positioning data for the mAUVs. This work supplements work currently underway at the University of Idaho funded by the Office of Naval Research.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Underwater Vehicles: Design and Applications first explores the application of the adaptive Kalman filter algorithm to the estimation of high speed autonomous underwater vehicle dynamics. The authors investigate the performances of different control schemes, from non-model-based to model-based and adaptive model-based, implemented on a low-inertia underwater vehicle for three-dimensional helical trajectory tracking. Control laws for collision avoidance in three-dimensional environments are introduced, considering scenarios where a vehicle detects arbitrarily shaped and nonconvex obstacles using sensors"--

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the past decade, the design and manufacturing of intelligent multipurpose underwater vehicles has increased significantly. In the wide range of studies conducted in this field, the flexibility and autonomy of these devices with respect to their intended performance had been widely investigated. This work is related to the design and manufacturing of a small and lightweight autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) with vision capabilities allowing detecting and contouring obstacles. It is indeed an exciting challenge to build a small and light submarine AUV, while making tradeoffs between performance and minimum available space as well as energy consumption. In fact, due to the ever-increasing in equipment complexity and performance, designers of AUVs are facing the issues of limited size and energy consumption. By using a pair of thrusters capable to rotate 360o on their axis and implementing a mass shifter with a control loop inside the vehicle, this later can efficiently adapt its depth and direction with minimal energy consumption. A prototype was fabricated and successfully tested in real operating conditions (in both pool and ocean). It includes the design and embedding of accurate custom multi-purpose sensors for multi-task operation as well as an enhanced coordinated system between a high-speed processor and accustomed electrical/mechanical parts of the vehicle, to allow automatic controlling its movements. Furthermore, an efficient tracking system was implemented to automatically detect and bypass obstacles. Then, fuzzy-based controllers were coupled to the main AUV processor system to provide the best commands to safely get around obstacles with minimum energy consumption. The fabricated prototype was able to work for a period of three hours with object tracking options and five hours in a safe environment, at a speed of 0.6 m/s at a depth of 8 m.
