AUV IDENTIFICATION BY USE OF SELF-OSCILLATIONS

Abstract Given the fact that AUV dynamics change depending on the payload, finding a mathematical model in a rather small period of time is quite important. Classical openloop identification methods give accurate parameter identification, but are also time consuming. In the paper we present an identification method based on induced self-oscillations, which has proved to be applicable to underwater vehicles. In addition to that, an error analysis for the proposed method is presented. Experimental results obtained on an underwater vehicle are given and compared to the results obtained using open-loop identification algorithms.
