Active Yaw Stabilization for Smooth, Highly Maneuverable Underwater Vehicles

This paper describes the development of a robot that combines a powerful propeller with a pump-valve system that enables high maneuverability. In order to reduce size and improve turning performance, the design does not include external stabilizers such as fins. Therefore the robot is directionally...
