An adaptive sliding mode backstepping fault-tolerant control is proposed for autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) with thruster faults. Thruster faults are treated as uncertainties.

NASA revived roll thrusters on the 47-year-old Voyager 1 that were thought to be dead for two decades. According to the space agency, scientists at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory of NASA, located ...

Learning to Swim: Reinforcement Learning for 6-DOF Control of Thruster-driven Autonomous Underwater Vehicles ...

They are equipped with one thruster at the back and fins to control the yaw and pitch; thus, they are underactuated. This means that they fly with almost constant velocity during the mission and need ...

In addition, based on the detection strategy proposed in this study, Exo-AUV should also achieve science autonomy, speculate potential regions in different scales of space, plan detection tasks ...

A underwater vehicle simulation test-bed with SAUVC swimming pool environment with 6-vectored thruster configuration vehicle operating in remote controlled and autonomous mode.

Quadroin AUV displayed on Evo Logics booth at Euronaval 2024. German underwater robotics manufacturer Evo Logic brings biomimetism for the design of their new Autonomous Unmanned Vehicles (AUV) ...

JETTE’s lack of protruding diving plains, thrusters and maneuvering fins is also an advantage because they are particularly prone to impact damage or environmental fouling. Damage to such ...

However, the uOne isn't shaped like a typical AUV. Its relatively short, squat body incorporates eight vectored thrusters which allow it to hover on the spot or move in any direction as needed.
