AN EFFICIENT MOTION CONTROL SYSTEM FOR UNDERWATER GLIDERS

An Efficient Motion Control System for Underwater Gliders

This paper describes an underwater glider motion control system intended to enhance locomotive efficiency by reducing the energy expended by vehicle guidance and control.In previous work, the INFINIUM EXTREME authors obtained an approximate analytical expression for steady turning motion as a regular perturbation from wings level flight.Using this
