  • Abstract
    Most of the AUVs are belongs to underactuated mechanical systems, the tracking control problem of underactuated AUVs attracts many research concerns. In this paper, based on the error dynamics model in reference coordinate system a 3-D trajectory tracking controller for an underactuated AUV is developed by utilizing Lyapunov stability and Backstepping technique, as well as providing a guidance-based approach. The numerical simulations show the effectiveness of the proposed control algorithm.
