Abstract

Development of a robust controller for an autonomous underwater glider (AUG) is a challenging task since a glider is an under-actuated and highly nonlinear system. This paper presents a robust back-stepping sliding mode controller for the trajectory tracking control of a glider with external disturbances. The simulations are performed for the longitudinal plane of the glider. The controller is developed using back-stepping technique and introducing the sliding surface at the final stage of the algorithm. Since the Lyapunov theorem is used when deriving the control law, thus he asymptotical stability of the system can be guaranteed. Simulation results have shown that the proposed control system not only achieves satisfactory control performance, but also reduction of the chattering phenomena, and reduction in the control effort.
