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 solved by integrating the inertial navigation system, acoustic and vision based measurement system and aiding sensors. All measurements are obtained in simulation environment. Performance of the resultant navigation system is analyzed by creating suitable system state, measurement and noise models. The navigational data of the vehicle is improved by utilizing a Kalman filter. After the navigation problem solved, guidance is performed by the way point guidance algorithm by line-of-sight (LOS) and the way point guidance based optimal control with navigational data. The pool experimental set-up is designed by using the inertial navigation system and acoustic-based measurement system composed of pinger and hydrophones together. These are integrated to obtain navigation data of the vehicle more accurately. In addition, the depth sensor is used in order to support depth information. The mathematical model of the vehicle includes some unknown parameters such as added mass and damping coefficients. It is not possible to determine all the parameters values as their effect on the state of the system is usually negligible. On the other hand, most of the “important” parameters are obtained based on a system identification study of the vehicle by using this estimated experimental navigational data for coupled motion. All of this study is performed in a Matlab/Simulink environment.

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...
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...

Autopilot and guidance design for a Mini ROV (Remotely Operated Underwater Vehicle Cevher, Fırat Yılmaz; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2012) 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) a...
Vision-based Navigation and System Identification of Underwater Survey Vehicle Kartal, Seda Karadeniz; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal; Ege, Emre (2015-05-19) In this study, a nonlinear mathematical model for an unmanned underwater survey vehicle is obtained. The inertial navigation system and vision-based measurement systems are modelled. The magnetic compass, depth sensor and pitot tube are used in order to support vehicle's attitude, velocity and depth information. The state errors are estimated with error state estimation algorithm from the noisy measurement data. The navigational data of the vehicle can be obtained accurately using the extended Kalman filter...
