Abstract
Studies on the underwater vehicle: UWV are classified into automatic control called AUV and wired control type: ROV. In recent researches, attention has been focused on The AUV. Most of AUV studies have been focused on attitude control systems. However, few researches attempted position control systems. Generally, coordinates of the AUV is obtained from the mounted sensors. An error is generated every time the coordinates obtained from the sensor move by external force. Therefore, an error occurs in the estimated position of the AUV. The purpose of our research is to propose position tracking control of AUV. This paper, a novel control system for the position control is proposed, and developed small size AUV . Finally, position control performance of developed AUV is experimented.
