• An output feedback motion control system for ROVs : guidance, navigation, and control 

      Fernandes, Daniel de Almeida (Doctoral thesis at NTNU;2015:122, Doctoral thesis, 2015)
      This doctoral thesis is concerned with two main subjects, namely path generation and motion control of observation class Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROVs). Both of them are examined with an emphasis on the motion control ...
    • Full-Scale Sea Trials of a Motion Control System for ROVs Based on a High-Gain State Observer 

      Fernandes, Daniel de Almeida; Sørensen, Asgeir Johan; Donha, Décio Crisol (Journal article, 2014)
      This paper reports selected results from full-scale sea trials, along with the description of the digital version implemented in practice, of a Motion Control System (MCS) previously proposed by the authors in the ...
    • Path generation for high-performance motion of ROVs based on a reference model 

      Fernandes, Daniel de Almeida; Sørensen, Asgeir Johan; Donha, Decio C (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015)
      This paper deals with the generation of sufficiently smooth position, velocity, and acceleration references for guiding the motion of an ROV along purposefully defined curvature-continuous paths in automated missions. The ...
    • Trajectory Tracking Motion Control System for Observation Class ROVs 

      Fernandes, Daniel de Almeida; Sørensen, Asgeir Johan; Donha, Decio C. (Journal article, 2013)
      This paper proposes a MCS (Motion Control System) with trajectory tracking capability for observation class ROVs (Remotely Operated Vehicle) used to carry out automated high-resolution image capturing missions, e.g. ...
