Sliding mode control is a very effective strategy in dealing not only with parametric
uncertainties, but also with unmodeled dynamics, and therefore has been widely applied to …

Remotely operated underwater vehicles (ROVs) have been widely used in deep-sea
resource exploitation and industrial engineering operations. To perform these tasks …

The remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) are important to provide the technology support for
both the traditional offshore structures and rapidly-growing renewable energy facilities …

Hydrodynamic coefficients are essential for the development of underwater robots; in
particular, for their design and navigation control. To obtain these coefficients, several …

This paper investigates the problem of modelling a system of interconnected underwater
robots with highly coupled dynamics. The objective is to develop a mathematical description …

Modern control strategies for underwater vehicles often need a good dynamic model for the
controller design. Due to the hydrodynamic effects a theoretical or mathematical …

Environmental pollution is one of the most severe global threats that require suitable
solutions to control air, soil and water pollution. Thus, the implementation of proper and …

In this article, an underwater hull cleaning robot model based on propeller thrust adsorption
is established for near-wall conditions. By using a computational fluid dynamics method …

In this study, the longitudinal, sideways, vertical, and sideslip motions of an open-frame
remotely operated vehicle (ROV) were experimentally and numerically investigated. The …

Abstract Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) is a small marine craft used for underwater
observation. Hence, the analysis of hydrodynamic characteristics is important …
