The design and application of a novel vectored thruster for special-shaped AUV

Listed in ScienceDB

AUVs, as the primary platform, have significantly contributed to underwater surveys in scientific, and military fields.

Description

Enhancing the manoeuvrability of autonomous underwater vehicles is crucial for their development. A novel vectorial thruster is present in this paper.

The thrust-vectoring mechanism of the novel vectorial thruster has two rotational degrees of freedom achieved by a linear actuator and a steering engine. The effectiveness of the AUVs is notably enhanced at low forward speeds with the specially designed thrust-vectoring mechanism. A theoretical analysis has been conducted to investigate and verify the kinematics of the thrust-vectoring mechanism. the spatial attitude control test and propulsive force test of the vectorial thruster are made to evaluate its performance.

Finally, open-hoop control was applied to the control of a real SAUV, and experiments were conducted in a water tank The experimental results demonstrate that the performance of this type of vectorial thruster is acceptable, and the design is worthy of further research.
