Abstract

Effective thrust allocation for underwater vehicle is very important to realize complex control task. In order to generate optimal thrust allocation according to control command, a thrust optimal allocation scheme has been designed for broad type of underwater vehicles. Corresponding to horizontal and vertical thruster configuration, a force allocation model has been established to realize optimal allocation. Infinity-norm optimization has been combined with 2-norm optimization to construct a bi-criteria primal-dual neural network optimal allocation scheme. In the experiment of open frame remote operated vehicle, bi-criteria primal-dual optimization outperformed 2-norm optimization in the fault tolerance control and accurate path following. In the thrust optimal allocation simulations for underwater vehicle manipulator system, 4 vertical thrust have been optimal allocated to realize diving and attitude maintenance successfully during manipulation process. Thus the thrust optimal allocation has been verified.
