Identification and control of the Phantom 500 body motion
Jean-Pierre Folcher, Maria João Rendas · 2001
Addresses the identification and the control of the vertical motion of the ROV Phantom. The problems are split in two decoupled problems.: the propeller motion and the diving motion. A maximum likelihood based identification method is used for each dynamic model. The design of the inner and outer controllers is based on the classical root locus method. Numerical experiments demonstrate that the designed controllers yield satisfactory results in terms of stability, tracking performance and robustness.
