Autonomous Underwtaer Vehicles
Abstract
More than two thirds of the Earth’s surface is covered by water. The oceans and seas host a great amount of species of animals and plants making up ecosystems with a great biodiversity.
Moreover, they represent a great of renewable and nonrenewable energy sources for the benefit of the humankind. The underwater robotics represent a solution to solve diverse tasks in underwater environments without the intervention of a human operator. During the last decades, the autonomous underwater vehicles have had a remarkable development and they have been gradually involved in various areas like the scientific, commercial and military ones, facing progressively more challenging operating scenarios. Thanks to the impressive advances developed nowadays in the computational, battery technology, miniaturization electronic systems and navigation sensors fields, the autonomous underwater vehicles have become technological devices with greater capabilities to accomplish autonomous tasks. This make it possible to state new approaches in order to give autonomy (or intelligence) to these vehicles by using processing systems and decision-making algorithms on board, namely controllers. The design of controllers obey to
the application of mathematical techniques and theories to fulfill prescribed operational features for the underwater vehicles when they perform an autonomous task.
