| dc.description.abstract | The Charles Stark Draper Laboratory is continuing the research done on fish-like propulsion systems with the Vorticity Control Unmanned Underwater Vehicle (VCUUV) project. The VCUUV is a fully autonomous robotic fish, which employs a flexible tail structure for propulsion and maneuvering. This paper describes the design, implementation, and testing of a control system for the tail of the VCUUV. Both linear and nonlinear control techniques are discussed. | en_US |
