Abstract

The structure of an autonomous underwater vehicle is introduced, its dynamic model is established and simulation result is presented. Its stable and reliable control system design is discussed in detail from main control unit, communication unit to motor driving unit. A double-server, warm-cold backup scheme is used to design the control system of the AUV in order to make it more tolerant and reliable, and a fuzzy-PI control method is used to realize the reliable control of the motors of the AUV
