Thruster control allocation for over-actuated, open-frame underwater vehicles

E. Omerdic, G. N. Roberts

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

This chapter introduces a new hybrid approach associated with the thmster control allocation problem for over-actuated thruster-propelled open-frame underwater vehicles (UVs). The work presented herein is applicable to a wide class of control allocation problems, where the number of actuators is higher than the number of objectives. However, the application described here is focused on two remotely operated vehicles (ROVs) with different thruster configuration.
