Purpose A novel fault-tolerant control (FTC) method is proposed to assure the stability of the remote-operated vehicle (ROV) by considering the thruster failure-induced model perturbations. The stability of the ROV with failures is guaranteed and optimized with the determined model perturbation...

Purpose A novel proportional integral derivative-extended state disturbance observer-based control (PID-ESDOBC) algorithm is proposed to solve the nonlinear hydrodynamics, parameters perturbation and external disturbance in yaw control of remote operated vehicles (ROVs). The effectiveness of...
