Adaptive line-of-sight path following control for underactuated autonomous underwater vehicles in the presence of ocean currents

This article presents a nonlinear adaptive line-of-sight path following controller for underactuated autonomous underwater vehicles in the presence of ocean currents. Firstly, a new nonsingular path following error kinematic model in the Serret–Frenet frame is developed, where a nominal course angle...
