Forward speed control of a pulsed-jet soft-bodied underwater vehicle
This paper reports on the development of the control for a new class of soft underwater vehicles. These vehicles exploit their soft-bodied nature to produce thrust by cyclically ingesting and expelling ambient fluid. A forward speed control based on the linearised dynamics of the robot is design. The control succeeds at dealing with the discontinuous thrust by accounting for the shape-change driven actuation.

Abstract

This paper reports on the development of the control for a new class of soft underwater vehicles. These vehicles exploit their soft-bodied nature to produce thrust by cyclically ingesting and expelling ambient fluid. A forward speed control based on the linearised dynamics of the robot is design. The control succeeds at dealing with the discontinuous thrust by accounting for the shape-change driven actuation.
