TLDR
Underwater robotic vehicles have greater speed, endurance and depth capability as well as a higher factor of safety than human divers but have difficult control problems.Abstract:
Underwater robotic vehicles (URVs) have greater speed, endurance and depth capability as well as a higher factor of safety than human divers. However, URVs have difficult control problems. Dynamics and control problems of the vehicle are discussed and some advanced vehicle technologies are reviewed in this presentation. >read more

Robust trajectory control of underwater vehicles
TL;DR: In this article, a recent extension of sliding mode control is shown to handle nonlinearities, is highly robust to imprecise models, explicitly accounts for the presence of high-frequency unmodeled dynamics, and produces designs that are easy to understand.
