  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Engineering Applications for New Materials and Technologies

Part of the book series: Advanced Structured Materials ((STRUCTMAT,volume 85))

Abstract

This paper presents a review of control system algorithms for unmanned underwater remotely operated vehicles (ROV), focusing on the proportional integral derivative (PID) controller and fuzzy logic lontroller (FLC). This review covered the field area of the unmanned underwater remotely operated vehicles including the remotely operated vehicles and autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV). The review paper covers the recently published documents for a control system of an unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV). It also describes the control system algorithm from different field areas which has inspired the authors to develop the same control algorithm for the unmanned underwater vehicle area. A comparison of the control system designs from the existing development of the ROV was also included. There has been a lot of developments of ROV which depend on their purposes or applications either for the exploration, low-cost vehicle, shallow water or educational purposes. The review of the control system for ROV will provide insights for the reader to design new control systems for ROVs.
