Dynamic positioning of remotely operated underwater vehicles.

Dynamic positioning of remotely operated underwater vehicles.

The paper describes an automatic dynamic positioning system for remotely operated underwater vehicles (ROVs) using a mechanical passive arm for position measurement that is suitable for inspection and intervention tasks requiring precise positioning. Good dynamic performance in tracking was also att...
