Adaptive Terminal Sliding Mode NDO-Based Control of Underactuated AUV in Vertical Plane

The depth tracking issue of underactuated autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) in vertical plane is addressed in this paper. Considering the complicated dynamics and kinematics model for underactuated AUV, a more simplified model is obtained based on assumptions. Then a nonlinear disturbance observer...
