One of the most difficult problems in depth control for underwater vehicle is the effect of seaway disturbance. When a underwater vehicle operates in a near surface environment, the seaway generates essentially two types of stochastic disturbances that influence the boat notion. One component of the seaway forces is of large magnitude with a relatively narrow-band, first order component. The other component is generally of somewhat smaller magnitude, second order component. Since the magnitude of the first order component is generally such greater than the compensating force that can be generating by the planes, it is undesirable for the controller to generate a control command. In this paper, we used LPC(Linear Predictive Coding) processing to uncontrollable seaway disturbance. This method can be used extensively in sensor signal processing of underwater vehicles.

This study proposes a new efficient MAC(media access control) protocol to establish the ultrasonic communication network for under water vehicles, which ensures a certain level of maximum throughput regardless of the propagation delay of ultrasonic and allows fast data transmission through the multiple ultrasonic communication channel. In this study, a media access control protocol for underwater communication network that allows 'peer-to-peer' communication between a surface ship and multiple underwater system is designed, and the proposed control protocol is implementde for its verification.

In this Paper we propose a navigation algorithm which can be used to estimate state vectors such as position and velocity for its motion control using multi-sensor output measurements. The output measurement we will use in estimating the state is a series of known multi-sensor asynchronous outputs with measurement noise. This paper investigates the Extended Kalman Filtering method to merge asynchronous heading, heading rate, velocity of DVL, and SSBL information to produce a single state vector. Different complexity of Kalman Filter, with biases and measurement noise, are investigated with theoretically data from KRISO's AUV. All levels of complexity of the Kalman Filters are shown to be much more close and smooth to real trajectories then the basic underwater acoustic navigation system comment)'used aboard underwater vehicle.

In this paper, we propose a novel propulsion method for a Biomimetic underwater robot, which is a bio-inspired approach. The proposed propulsion method mimics the pectoral fins of a real fish. Pectoral fins of real fish are able to propel and change direction. We designed the propulsion mechanism of 1 D.O.F. that has two functions (propel and change direction). We named this propulsion system 'Flipper'. The proposed propulsion method can control forward, pitch and yaw motion using the Flipper. We made an experimental underwater robot system and verified the proposed propulsion method. We measured its maximum speed and turning motion using an experimental underwater robot system. We also analyzed the thrust force from the maximum speed, using the thrust equation. Experimental results showed that our propulsion method enabled the thrust system of the biomimetic robot.

본 논문은 해양사고 시 인체 인양정보를 모니터링하는 시스템을 구현한다. 모니터링 시스템은 수중환경 정보를 송신하는 인양기구제어기를 통하여 초음파 통신을 수행하며, 수상에서는 관제센터 또는 모선까지 10 km내 GPS 정보를 제공하기 위해 LoRa 통신을 수행한다. 수중 인양제어기는 공압 센서, 자이로 센서 및 온도센서 정보를 전송한다. 수중조건은 수심 10m 마다 수압 1기압씩 높아지고, 기구의 공기양은 육상에 비해서 1/2씩 줄어드는 환경에서 60 kg 수중 마네킹을 모델을 사용한다. 인양기구 SMB(Surface Marker Buoy)에 38g의 CO2 카트리지 1개를 사용하여 10 sec 이내에 수면 상승 조건을 기반으로 인양기구 출수 시험을 한다. 수중 통신은 수심 40m에서 100m까지 2,400bps 초음파 센서를 이용하여 데이터 전송환경을 구성한다. 모니터링 신호는 수심, 수온, 방향각 등을 수면 위의 구조요원에게 제공함으로써 인양작업자의 안전과 안전한 인체 구조를 목표로 한다.

There are many specific requirements in the actuation, system for high speed underwater vehicle, such as size, weights, power etc.. In this paper, a high performance compact hydraulic actuation system to satisfy such requirements was designed. The controller of the system was designed using both the conventional PID and VSC which were known to have reliability, robustness respectively. The performance analysis was done for the designed actuation system through computer simulation.

Since linearized equations of notion have much modelling errors, robust controller for disturbances and noises Is necessary for autopilot. In this paper, notion equations for underwater vehicle with six degree-of-freedom are derived and linearized. And robust autopilot for this system is designed by using LQG/LTR methodology.

In order to probe such mineral resources, AUVs (Autonomous Underwater Vehicles) have been used instead of ROVs (Remotely-Operated Vehicles) that are not suitable to probe submarine resources distributed over a wide area. However, the power consumption of AUVs needs to be reduced as they are operated by batteries. In controlling the power of underwater vehicles, the efficiency of batteries and their capacity have been heightened. This study aimed at developing a power control system suitable to the prober for submarine mineral resources. As a result, power was reduced as compared to the non-control system and the prober could explore the seabed longer than usual.

능동 소나 송신시스템은 전기신호를 증폭하여 출력해주는 송신기와 증폭된 전기신호를 음향신호로 변환해주는 수중 음향 트랜스듀서로 구성된다. 일반적으로 송신기 출력 특성은 부하 임피던스에 의존적이며 송신기 부하인 수중 음향 트랜스듀서는 구동 시 전기적 임피던스가 주파수에 따라 크게 변화하는 특성을 갖는다. 이러한 가변 임피던스 조건에서는 능동 소나 송신시스템의 출력이 불안정해질 수 있다. 이에 본 논문에서는 능동 소나 송신시스템에서 수중음향 트랜스듀서의 가변 임피던스 조건에서도 안정적인 송신 신호를 전송하기 위한 소나 송신기의 설계 및 제어 기법을 제안하였다. 수중 음향 트랜스듀서의 전기적 임피던스 특성은 실험적 방법으로 분석하였고, 소나 송신기는 단상 풀브릿지 인버터, LC 필터와 정합회로로 구성하였다. 실시간으로 부하 특성이 변하는 Linear Frequency Modulation(LFM) 신호를 송신하면서 송신기와 트랜스듀서를 보호하고 안정적으로 출력 전압 특성을 확보할 수 있는 소나 송신기의 설계 및 출력 제어 기법을 제안하였으며, 시뮬레이션과 실험을 통해 타당성을 검증하였다.

Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) generally work in complex marine environments. Any fault in AUVs may cause significant losses. Thus, system reliability and automatic fault diagnosis are important. To address the actuator failure of AUVs, a fault diagnosis method based on the Gaussian particle filter is proposed in this study. Six free-space motion equation mathematical models are established in accordance with the actuator configuration of AUVs. The value of the control (moment) loss parameter is adopted on the basis of these models to represent underwater vehicle malfunction, and an actuator failure model is established. An improved Gaussian particle filtering algorithm is proposed and is used to estimate the AUV failure model and motion state. Bayes algorithm is employed to perform robot fault detection. The sliding window method is adopted for fault magnitude estimation. The feasibility and validity of the proposed method are verified through simulation experiments and experimental data.
