The technology of hydrodynamic modeling and marine craft motion control systems has
progressed greatly in recent years. This timely survey includes the latest tools for analysis …

In this Chapter the mathematical model of UVMSs is derived. Modeling of rigid bodies
moving in a fluid or underwater manipulators has been studied in literature by, among …

A six-degree-of-freedom model for the maneuvering of an underwater vehicle is used and a
sliding-mode autopilot is designed for the combined steering, diving, and speed control …

mproving the performance of modular, low-cost autonomous underwater vehicles (AUVs) in
such applications as long-range oceanographic survey, autonomous docking, and shallow …
