This paper presents an underwater hybrid navigation system for a semi-autonomous underwater vehicle (SAUV). The navigation system consists of an inertial measurement unit (IMU), an ultra-short baseline (USBL) acoustic navigation sensor and a doppler velocity log (DVL) accompanying a magnetic compass. The errors of inertial measurement units increase with time due to the bias errors of gyros and accelerometers. A navigational system model is derived to include the error model of the USBL acoustic navigation sensor and the scale effect and bias errors of the DVL, of which the state equation composed of the navigation states and sensor parameters is 25 in the order. The conventional extended Kalman filter was used to propagate the error covariance, update the measurement errors and correct the state equation when the measurements are available. Simulation was performed with the 6-d.o.f. equations of motion of SAUV in a lawn-mowing survey mode. The hybrid underwater navigation system shows good tracking performance by updating the error covariance and correcting the system's states with the measurement errors from a DVL, a magnetic compass and a depth senor. The error of the estimated position still slowly drifts in horizontal plane about 3.5m for 500 seconds, which could be eliminated with the help of additional USBL information.

본 논문은 센서에 불확실성이 존재하는 무인잠수정에 대한 도킹 평가 알고리즘을 제안한다. 제안된 알고리즘은 상태평가와 확률평가 두 가지의 평가로 구성된다. 상태평가는 무인잠수정이 도킹스테이션에 접근하는 과정 중 심도제어를 통해 도킹스테이션과 동일한 수심에 도달하는데 발생 예상되는 전진거리와 실제 수평거리를 비교함으로써 심도 도달 가능 여부를, 무인잠수정의 최소선회반경으로 인한 접근 불가 영역과 도킹스테이션의 위치를 비교함으로써 충돌 회피를 위한 선회 동작 수행 여부를 확인한다. 상태평가를 만족하며 무인잠수정이 도킹스테이션에 일정 거리 이상 접근한 경우 확률평가를 수행하여 무인잠수정의 방향각과 도킹스테이션에 대한 상대위치, 그리고 센서 불확실성을 기반으로 도킹 성공확률을 산출한다. 최종적으로 산출된 도킹 성공확률을 설계된 문턱 값과 비교함으로써 도킹 수행 여부를 결정한다. Matlab 기반의 시뮬레이션을 통해 무인잠수정이 도킹스테이션에 접근하는 시나리오를 구성하여 제안하는 알고리즘의 유효성을 검증한다.

In underwater environment, the control of AUV is difficult, because of the existence of parameter uncertainties and disturbances as well as highly nonlinear and coupled system dynamics. The requirement for the simple and robust controller which works satisfactorily in those dynamical uncertainties, call for a design using the PD or sliding mode controller. The PD controller is very popular controller in the industrial field and the sliding mode controller has been used successfully for the AUV controller design. In this paper, the two controllers arc designed for ISiMI(Integrated Submergible Intelligent Mission Implementation) AUV and the performances are compared by numerical simulation under the modeling uncertainty and disturbances. The design process of PD and sliding mode controller for ISiMI AUV and simulation results are included to compare the performances of the two controllers.

This paper describes the development of a test-equipment for the pre-verification of navigation performance in cluster-based AUVs (Autonomous Underwater Vehicle). In the development of an AUV, conducting hardware and software development sequentially is not efficient due to the limited research and development period. Therefore, in order to reduce the overall development time and achieve successful development results, it is essential to pre-validate the navigation system and navigation algorithms. Accordingly, this paper explains the test-equipment for pre-verification of navigation performance, and ultimately confirms the stability of the navigation system and the performance of the navigation algorithms through the analysis of five types of navigation sensor data stored during real-sea experiments. The results demonstrate that through the development and verification of the test-equipment, it is possible to shorten the overall development period and improvement of product quality in the process of developing multiple AUVs.

This paper deals with the ways how the AUV is composed of sub-modules to be fault-tolerant during the mission. The emergency situations can be classified into several parts according to the zones where the situations take place - sensor zone, actuator zone, interpreter zone, and communication zone. This paper explains how each element of emergency situation is detected, contained and treated, and as a result, introduce the modular structured AUV controller for the autonomous cruising.

In the present work, design procedure and computer simulation of an AUV are documented briefly. The design procedure containing the design of propulsion system and CFD simulation of hydrodynamics behavior of the hull leads to achieve an optimum mechanical performance of AUV system. After designing, a comprehensive one dimensional model including motor, propeller, and AUV hull behavior simulates the whole dynamics of AUV system. In this design, to select the optimum AUV hull, several noses and tails are examined by CFD tools and the brushless motor is selected based on the first order model of DC electrical motor. By calculating thrust and velocity in functional point, OpenProp as a tool to select the optimum propeller is applied and the characteristics of appropriate propeller are determined. Finally, a computer program is developed to simulate the interaction between different components of AUV. The simulation leads to determine the initial acceleration, final velocity, and angular velocity of electrical motor and propeller. Results show the final AUV performance point is in the maximum efficiency regions of DC electrical motor and propeller.

수중 무인항체(Autonomous Underwater Vehicle, AUV)를 고정밀, 고위험 임무수행 분야에 이용하기 위해서는 연속적이고 정확한 항법정보를 제공하는 기술이 반드시 필요하다. 특히, 최근에는 항공분야에서 국내외적으로 연속적이고 정확한 항법정보를 제공하기 위하여 여러 가지 센서를 결합한 통합 항법시스템에 관한 연구가 활발하며, GPS나 음향장치를 관성센서와 통합하는 방법이 대표적이다. 하지만 수중 무인항체에 경우는 해수면 노출로 인한 탐사시간 장기화와 음향장치 설치 및 회수의 한계로 인하여 GPS나 음향장치 이외에 센서를 이용한 통합 항법시스템의 필요성이 커지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 자율성이 높으면서, 적은 비용으로 설치가 가능한 영상센서를 이용하여 항법성능을 효과적으로 증대시키는 Vision/INS 통합 항법을 제안한다. 제안한 통합 항법알고리즘은 외부표정요소 직접결정기법을 이용하여 영상 데이터로부터 항체의 위치와 자세를 추정하고, 추정된 결과를 INS의 추정치와 비교한다. 그리고 추정한 위치와 자세오차를 입력으로 칼만필터를 구동하도록 설계하였다. 모의실험을 통해 제안한 방법의 유효성을 확인하였다.

This paper attempts to address the motion parameter skip problem associated with three-dimensional trajectory tracking of an underactuated Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV) using backstepping-based control, due to the unsmoothness of tracking trajectory. Through kinematics concepts, a three-dimensional dynamic velocity regulation controller is derived. This controller makes use of the surge and angular velocity errors with bio-inspired models and backstepping techniques. It overcomes the frequently occurring problem of parameter skip at inflection point existing in backstepping tracking control method and increases system robustness. Moreover, the proposed method can effectively avoid the singularity problem in backstepping control of virtual velocity error. The control system is proved to be uniformly ultimately bounded using Lyapunov stability theory. Simulation results illustrate the effectiveness and efficiency of the developed controller, which can realize accurate three-dimensional trajectory tracking for an underactuated AUV with constant external disturbances.

In this paper, we designed the hybrid path generation method which is named CAPM(Continuous path generation method based on artificial Potential field) that is able to be used in the obstacles environment. This CAPM was designed so that it puts together two obstacle avoidance algorithm-the continuous path generation method(CPGM) and the artificial potential field method(APFM). Here, the CAPM generate the safety path using continuous path curvature. But, this method has demerits when used in obstacles environment in which are closely located. Another method which is named the APFM generates the path with the artificial potential field in the obstacles environment. But, It has local minima in certain places and unnecessarily calculates the path in which obstacles are not located. So, the CAPM was designed for autonomous underwater vehicle(AUV) obstacle avoidance. As the result of simulation, it was confirmed that the CAPM can be applied to a safe path generation for AUV.
