Mine avoidance and localization for underwater vehicles using continuous curvature path generation and non-linear tracking control

Many underwater vehicles have been designed to follow a straight path using linear approximations about that path. Tracking a dynamic path of arbitrary but continuous curvature may often be desired. This will require a nonlinear controller with enhanced robustness properties. One point of this thesi...
