Neural network predictive control of a deep submergence rescue vehicle

Underwater vehicles consist of robotic vehicles that have been developed to reduce the risks of human life and to carry out tasks that would be impractical with a manned mission. The design of a depth control of an underwater vehicle is described in this thesis. For an underwater vehicle the most im...
