Abstract

Based on the modeling of a micro autonomous underwater vehicle, an improved control structure and underlying control method are proposed for some parameters such as the automatic orientation, automatic depth, height, and speed of the micro autonomous underwater vehicle. A cascade double closed-loop control structure is proposed to control the horizontal plane by controlling properties such as the automatic depth, height, positioning, the response speed and adjustment precision of the control are improved. The parameters of the proportional-integral-derivative (PID) control method can be optimized by using particle swarm optimization (PSO), and the fuzzy controller is designed to compare with the PID control of the autonomous underwater vehicles. Compared with the traditional PID control, the control effect of PSO–PID controller is stronger than that of the tranditional PID controller. Due to the uncertainty of the micro autonomous underwater vehicle mathematical model, the position control of PID controller is weaker than the fuzzy controller. The simulation results show that the proposed method has fast dynamic response and acceptable robustness.
