However, tasks appear that require their operation at a whole range of orientation angles. Such operating modes are necessary for the ROV “Iznos” with a hybrid propulsion system (includes both thrusters and wheels) developed in Bauman Moscow State Technical University for ship hull inspection.The control system is required to operate in whole range of orientation angles in two modes: tracking of reference yaw, pitch and roll angles (YPR – mode) set by operator and tracking desired rotations relative to the axis associated with the ROV. A traditional approach to a ROV attitude control implies the usage of Euler angles and has singularity and nonuniqueness problems at pitch ±90°. To avoid these problems attitude control using error quaternion feedback is used. The quality of the obtained control law is verified by field tests on the ROV “Iznos”. Performance of the system in YPR - mode was compared to the traditional approach based on Euler angles and traditional approach with decomposition algorithm. All approaches have the problem of perturbations between yaw, pitch, roll control channels.In turn, control system based on quaternions has a simple structure and acceptable quality for ROV for the ship-hull inspection.

The construction of the orientation control system is considered based on the traditional approach using Euler angles (yaw, pitch and roll). A transfer matrix general form of the ROV attitude control system was obtained. It was shown that with the increase of inclination angles the transfer matrix of the system becomes multivariable. Algorithms of disturbances compensation and a methodology for parameters selection for decomposition algorithm were proposed. The obtained results were verified during the in situ tests of the ROV “Iznos”, developed in Bauman Moscow State Technical University (BMSTU). The proposed decomposition algorithms allow to expand the ranges of working angles and to improve the quality of the control system performance without significant re-engineering of its structure.

Traditional attitude control systems use Euler angles. However, the performance of traditional systems decreases with the increasing of the tilt angles, which delays their use for new tasks. To solve this problem, stability analysis of the UUV's attitude control system according to the generalized Nyquist stability criterion is carried out. The analyses showed that the stability of the system depends on the UUV inclination along the roll. However, at large angles of inclination, the roll channel is subject to perturbations from the yaw and pitch channels. The roll control system synthesis is solved as the ∞-optimization problem with the requirements of low sensitivity to perturbations from other channels. The simulation results on the full non-linear UUV Aqua-MO model confirmed the efficiency of the approach in question and demonstrated the best quality in comparison with PD controller. The obtained stability condition and synthesis approach allow to expand the working angles and improve the quality of the existing UUV control systems. These results are useful for the development of new systems as well.
