AUV 3D trajectory tracking control identified online by recurrent immune network
In order to improve the 3D trajectory tracking accuracy of autonomous underwater vehicle(AUV)under dis-turbances such as ocean current,ocean wave and underwater noise,a PID self-tuning trajectory tracking controller identified online by recurrent immune neural network(PID-RINN)is proposed.First,the kinematic model of the AUV is established,and the depth distance,heading angle and pitch angle of the AUV are taken as the control variables,and a PID controller identified online by the neural network is designed.Then a recursive immune network is constructed by referring to the in-formation processing mechanism of the biological immune system.After that,the lateral distance between the underwater ro-bot and the preview waypoint on the horizontal plane is defined as the vaccine,and is inoculated into the synaptic hidden lay-er of the recurrent immune network together with the output of the cellular hidden layer.Finally,based on the gradient meth-od,the online self-tuning of the PID controller identified by the recursive immune network is realized.Test results show that compared with PID,GA_PID,RBF_PID,the average and maximum position errors of the proposed PID-RINN are respect-ively reduced by an average of 31.91%and 25.81%,the average and maximum heading angle errors are reduced by an aver-age of 32.54%and 25.27%respectively,and the average and maximum pitch angle errors are reduced by an average of 61.93%and 61.26%respectively,which verifies that the 3D trajectory tracking identified online by the recursive immune network has the advantages of high control accuracy and strong disturbance suppression.
