Autonomous marine vehicles (AMVs) have received considerable attention in the past few
decades, mainly because they play essential roles in broad marine applications such as …

This paper presents a review on the development and application of model predictive
control (MPC) for autonomous intelligent mechatronic systems (AIMS). Starting from the …

This article proposes a nonlinear model predictive control (NMPC) strategy for the position
tracking of cable-driven parallel robots (CDPRs). The NMPC formulation handles explicitly …

This paper proposes a hierarchical image-based visual servoing (IBVS) strategy for dynamic
positioning of a fully actuated underwater vehicle. In the kinematic loop, the desired velocity …

In this paper, we present the design, modeling, and real-time nonlinear model predictive
control (NMPC) of an autonomous robotic boat. The robot is easy to manufacture, highly …

This article presents a robust nonlinear model predictive control (NMPC) scheme for
autonomous navigation of underwater robotic vehicles operating in a constrained …

In this work, a virtual submerged floating operational system (VSFOS) based on parallel and
serial robotic platforms is proposed. The primary aim behind its development lies in carrying …

Underwater robots beneath ocean waves can benefit from feedforward control to reduce
position error. This letter proposes a method using model predictive control (MPC) to predict …

In this paper, a hybrid visual servo (HVS) controller is proposed for underwater vehicles, in
which a combination of the vehicle's 3-D Cartesian pose and the 2-D image coordinates of a …

This paper presents a novel path planning method for minimizing the energy consumption of
an autonomous underwater vehicle subjected to time varying ocean disturbances and …
