Resumen
This work is devoted to preliminary numerical tests of selected control strategies of underwater vehicles in the absence of a force applied to the side. The aim was to test the effectiveness of control algorithms for underwater vehicle models considered to be underactuated. Initially, the testing algorithm is used to obtain some information about the dynamics model. Several well-known control schemes for two underwater vehicles for two desired trajectories were selected and tested. The simulations made for the planar 3-DOF model of two underwater vehicles show the performance that can be achieved with each control algorithm according to the assumptions made.
