Proceedings Of The 1999 Ieee International Conference On Control Applications

These conference papers highlight multidisciplinary areas of control system applications that should help professionals respond to the technological changes of the 21st century.

This title covers the proceedings of the IEEE International Conference on Control Applications held in 2001."

This book, now at the third edition, addresses the main control aspects in underwater manipulation tasks. The mathematical model with significant impact on the control strategy is discussed. The problem of controlling a 6-degrees-of-freedoms autonomous underwater vehicle is deeply investigated and a survey of fault detection/tolerant strategies for unmanned underwater vehicles is provided. Inverse kinematics, dynamic and interaction control for underwater vehicle-manipulator systems are then discussed. The code used to generate most of the numerical simulations is made available and briefly discussed.
