A new adaptive control law for the phantom ROV

Abstract An approach to the design of an adaptive control law for the Phantom Remotely Operated Vehicle (ROV) is proposed in this paper. The adaptive action is based on appropriate kinematic transformations between the earth-fixed frame and the vehicle-fixed frame in order to suitably compensate for the persistent hydrodynamic terms. The obtained simulation results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed technique.
