This thesis consists of a mathematical model, autopilot and guidance design of a mini ROV (Remotely Operated Underwater Vehicle) and investigates the effects of environmental forces (ocean currents etc.) on the guidance algorithms. First of all, a non-linear 6 degrees-of-freedom (DOF) mathematical model is obtained. This model includes hydrodynamics forces and moments. There is no exact calculation method for hydrodynamic coefficients; however strip theory and results of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analysis are used to calculate their approximate values. Linear mathematical model is obtained by linearization at trim points and it is used when designing surge speed, heading and depth controller. Guidance is examined by two methods such as way point guidance by line-of-sight (LOS) and way point guidance based on optimal control. Moreover, an online obstacle avoidance algorithm is developed. This thesis ends with the subject of navigation of the vehicle under GPS-like measurements and magnetic sensors measurements.

Control and guidance of an unmanned sea surface vehicle
Ahıska, Kenan; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2012)
In this thesis, control and guidance algorithms for unmanned sea surface vehicles are studied. To design control algorithms of different complexity, first a mathematical model for an unmanned sea surface vehicle is derived. The dynamical and kinematical equations for a sea surface vehicle are obtained, and they are adapted to real life conditions with necessary additions and simplifications. The forces and torques effecting on the vehicle are investigated in detail. Control algorithms for under-actuated six...
Navigation and system identification of an unmanned underwater survey vehicle
Kartal, Seda Karadeniz; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2017)
This study includes the mathematical model of an unmanned underwater vehicle, autopilot and the guidance design, the navigation solution and system identification of the unmanned underwater survey vehicle SAGA (Su Altı Gözlem Aracı). First, the 6 degrees-of-freedom (DOF) nonlinear mathematical model of an unmanned underwater vehicle is obtained by a Newton-Euler formulation. Then, the autopilot is designed by utilizing the proportional–integral–derivative (PID) control approach. The navigation problem is so...
Landing autopilot design for an UAV
Hanköylü, Merve; Çiloğlu, Tolga; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2011)
In this thesis, a landing autopilot for an UAV (IAI Pioneer RQ-2) is designed based on a nonlinear MATLAB model implemented with MATLAB/Simulink. In order to control the movement of the UAV at lateral and longitudinal axes, a speed, an altitude, a heading angle (direction) and a yaw rate controllers are designed. Controller design procedure is started with determination of different trim points of the aircraft. Next, the corresponding initial states and initial inputs are obtained. The model is linearized a...
Navigation and control of an unmanned sea surface vehicle
Kumru, Murat; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2015)
In this study, navigation and control algorithms for unmanned sea surface vehicles are investigated. For this purpose, firstly the mathematical model of a sea surface vehicle with two propellers providing stable maneuvering capabilities is constructed considering Newton-Euler equations. The next phase is to design a suitable navigation algorithm which integrates the solutions of “Inertial Navigation System (INS)” and external aids such as “Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)” and magnetometer. At this...
Navigation and path planning of an unmanned underwater vehicle
Gül, Uğur Doğan; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2012)
Due to the conditions peculiar to underwater, distinctive approaches are required to solve the navigation and path planning problem of an unmanned underwater vehicle (UUV). In this study, first of all, a detailed 6 degrees-of-freedom (DOF) mathematical model is formed, including the coupled non-linear forces and moments acting on an underwater vehicle. The hydrodynamic coefficients which correspond to the geometry of the vehicle which the model is based on are calculated using the strip theory. After the ma...
