  • Abstract
    This paper presents the study, development and implementation of an attitude controller for an AUV(Autonomous Underwater Vehicle). The goal is the hover stabilization of the prototype taking in account the dynamic modeling of translation and orientation. Missions were performed at slow speed to evaluated real time autonomous navigation. The control is based on a saturated PD control law. Results are presented from real time experiments.
