Three-dimensional path following control of underactuated autonomous underwater vehicle based on damping backstepping

This article addresses the problem of three-dimensional path following control for underactuated autonomous underwater vehicles in the presence of ocean current. Firstly, three-dimensional path following error model was established based on virtual guidance method. The control law is developed by bu...
