Point Stabilization for an Underactuated AUV in the Presence of Ocean Currents

This paper presents a state-feedback-based backstepping control algorithm to address the point stabilization (or set-point regulation) control problem for an underactuated autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) in the presence of constant and irrotational ocean current disturbance. A nonlinear three de...
