Abstract

In this paper, we present an approach to control an autonomous underwater vehicle in the vertical and the horizontal planes while pitching down or up (θ = ±π/2). Such a capability is explored in MARES, a small-sized, torpedo-shaped hovering AUV with four degrees of freedom. Despite the fact that roll angle is not controllable, we find a guidance law that makes the vehicle reach any point in the horizontal plane while maintaining the vehicle in the vertical position.
