Abstract

Abstract

The formation of intelligent control methods for autonomous undersea vehicles(AUVs) under two different communication and positioning methods of optics and acoustics are reviewed. First, the fundamental models of AUV formations, which are the basis for the design of intelligent control methods when considering communication and positioning constraints, are summarized. Second, the technical difficulties and intelligent control methods considering the communication and positioning constraints along with the research results are summarized for the optical and acoustic communication and positioning methods. Finally, the development trend of AUV formation intelligent control is analyzed and discussed. The findings presented in this paper can provide a reference for the design of AUV formation intelligent control methods and has reference significance for the theoretical research and engineering application of AUV formation.
