Robust Model-Based Control of Nonlinear Systems for Bio-Inspired Autonomous Underwater Vehicles

The growing need for ocean surveillance and exploration has pushed the development of novel autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) technology. A current trend is to make use of bio-inspired propulsor to increase the overall system efficiency and performance, an improvement that has deep implications in...
