Adaptive control of autonomous underwater vehicle based on fuzzy neural network

This paper presents an adaptive control method based on fuzzy neural network for Autonomous Underwater Vehicle (AUV). The Fuzzy Neural Network (FNN) could build the inverse model of AUV through on-line learning algorithm, which is free of fuzzy neural network structure knowledge and prior fuzzy inference rules. The adaptive controller for AUV based on FNN is proposed, and then the stability of the resulting AUV closed-loop control system is analyzed by Lyaponov stability theory. The validity of the proposed control method has been verified through computer simulation experiments.
