Abstract:
The deployment of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles (AUVs) for ocean observation is one of the important methods in marine scientific research. The stability of AUV attitude control determines the efficiency and safety of underwater operations. In practical systems, the actuators carried by AUVs have saturation, and the saturation of the actuators greatly affects the performance and stability of AUV attitude control. This article designs an anti-windup [Formula: see text] robust state feedback controller and an anti-windup [Formula: see text] robust dynamic output feedback controller for the pitch attitude control of AUVs to solve the pitch attitude control problem of AUVs subject to input constraints. Firstly, building a Linear-parameter varying (LPV) model for the AUV. Then, we design two anti-windup [Formula: see text] robust controllers based on LPV model. Simulation results verify the reasonable of LPV model and the effectiveness of proposed controllers. Proposed controllers can enable the system to quickly reach the desired attitude under input constraints.

Feedback control systems
Linear feedback systems are theoretical models that simplify analysis and design. These systems operate under the principle that their output is directly proportional to their input within certain ranges. For instance, an amplifier in a control system behaves linearly as long as the input signal remains within a specific range. However, most physical systems exhibit inherent nonlinearity...
