Abstract

The design of a trajectory controller for an underwater manipulator mounted on an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) is presented in this paper. The dynamic model of the system has been developed using bond graph modeling technique. The impact of hydrodynamic effects such as added mass, viscous drag, buoyancy force etc. on vehicle motion, and the coupled dynamics between the vehicle and the manipulator have been modeled and simulated using 20-SIM simulation software. In order to eliminate the trajectory errors of the manipulator, a PD controller with buoyancy compensation has been designed and implemented for a planar AUV with two-degrees of freedom onboard planar manipulator. Details of controller design and performance analysis of the controller on trajectory tracking are presented. Simulation results confirm the effectiveness of the controller in reducing the joint trajectory errors due to AUV-manipulator coupling.
