Analytical Solution of Time-Optimal Trajectory for Heaving Dynamics of Hybrid Underwater Gliders
Underwater vehicles have capacity limits for control inputs, within which their time-optimal trajectories (TOTs) can be formulated.In this study, the fastest trajectory for the depth control of a hybrid underwater glider (HUG) was found using buoyancy engines and propellers individually, and the decoupled heave dynamics of the HUG were defined usin
