Bionic Underwater Vehicle: A Data-Driven Disturbance Rejection Control Framework
Disturbances caused by unknown dynamics and environmental factors render the automatic control of underwater vehicles extremely challenging. These effects are complex, time varying, and difficult to model accurately, leading to possible instability in the control process. This article focuses on the disturbance rejection problem of an underactuated bionic underwater vehicle … [Read more...] about Bionic Underwater Vehicle: A Data-Driven Disturbance Rejection Control Framework
