This paper presents a novel online learning-based fault detection designed for underwater robotic thruster health monitoring. In the fault detection algorithm, we build a mathematical model between the control variable and the propeller speed by fitt...
Security enhancement and cost reduction have become crucial goals for second-generation reusable launch vehicles (RLV). The thruster is an important actuator for an RLV, and its control normally requires a valve capable of high-frequency operation, w...
This paper describes a novel thruster fault-tolerant control system (FTC) for open-frame remotely operated vehicles (ROVs). The proposed FTC consists of two subsystems: a model-free thruster fault detection and isolation subsystem (FDI) and a fault a...
The article discusses the problem of adaptive system synthesis to provide the detection, estimation, and elimination of the negative consequences of faults in the thrusters of underwater robots and deviations of their parameters. For this purpose, an...
This study focuses on faults in the thrusters of unmanned surface vehicles, which are fatal to the integrity of their missions. As for the fault conditions, the breakage of the thruster blade and the entanglement of floating objects were selected, an...
This study presents a swarm-control algorithm to overcome the limitations inherent to single-object systems. The leader–follower swarm-control method was selected for its ease of mathematical interpretation and theoretical potential for the unl...
Modern seagoing ships are often equipped with converters which utilize semiconductor power electronics devices like thyristors or power transistors. Most of them are used in driving applications such as powerful main propulsion plants, auxiliary podd...
